a quote from Christina," I guess it's too late to change my mind now....  New Me, Here I come!!"

 Day 5 on OPtifast today...have had moments of I could eat that right now but have stayed strong. Curious to see how much I have lost but my scale wont register me yet. I did 3 days of Slimfast before hand too just to give an added kick as I really dont want to have two surgeries. I cant beleive I am almost finished the journey to surgery. Then I can begin my journey into my new healthy way of life. Getting smaller and healthier learning portion sizes again and never ever to become Obese Mommy!

 well I find myself just shy of 3 weeks before my Bypass. 3 weeks of Opifast coming up. Hoping to loose enough, or I should say praying to loose enough weight that Dr Reed only needs to do one surgery. Wish me luck! I even bought 3 days of slimfast to do previous to that, starting tomorrow to hopefully give a little extra. I am also trying to walk as much as possible but when mobility is an issue its hard. A little pain I guess is better in the long run, even if I have to go walking with my crutches I am going to do it. June 21st is coming fast. I am excited and nervous all at the same time. I am not even really nervous about the changes I will make because I have accepted them as my new life. Its the surgery and going to sleep that scare me the most.  Going to try to get weighed tomorrow when I start the slimfast and then the Optifast....I will keep you posted on my success!

 first I want to thank Trish for giving me this website. I have been down to Hamilton Ontario to the Bariatric Clinic and am awaiting the Optifast Program to start. Its a 6 month program to bring My BMI down in order to be able to Have bypass surgery safer. 3 months of Shakes and then 3 months of introducing food back into my diet. Its gonna be hard but I have to do it. 

More about me....I am a 41yr old Mom of 2 wonderful kids. Chloe whom is 5 This year and Evan who is turning three next Sunday the 25 of April...beside for me they are the driving reason for going ahead with this Surgery. My Husband is a very close Third..lol. We have been married for 6 years this year and been together for 11.

More to follow as I start my journey!
