I went to TWH on Sept 2 and met with Dr. Penner. I got my date and it's sept 26!!!! I am so excited to finally get my date. The best part is my friend Kim (Jahdayah) is going for surgery the same day! Her surgery is at 8am and mine is at 11!

I started optifast on Monday and so far so good! I have been able to get all 4 shakes in and I am not too hungry. Day 3 was the hardest so far because I wanted some food....but I didn't give in. I have been on holidays this week and i don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing. As bad as it may sound I feel ready to go back to work. I think the time to surgery will be just that much quicker when I get back to work.


I go for my PATTS appointments on Sept 15 and I am going to go up to the 4th floor and have them weigh me...as of right now my scale only goes up to 330 and according to TWH I am 339....soon enough I will register on my own scale...I can't wait for that day!
