Almost there...
Apr 25, 2011
I cant believe in 2 days I will be sleeved. These past 2 weeks have been at some point hard. But all in all I did great with the liquid diet. No cheating and I think that's a first for me.
Tomorrow I go on clear liquids and then wens I have to be at the hospital at 6 am. My surgery is at 745. We live about 45 mins from the hospital so I cant complain.

I have to admit that the liquid diet is not as bad as I thought it would be. Don't get me wrong it sucks but I'm doing it. I figured I would be starving and guess what I'm not. Protein shakes make me gag now and I'm wondering how that's gonna work after surgery.
Today is day 7 of 14 and Ive lost about 7 lbs.
I decided that I will not be going to any Easter dinners....
I just think that it will be to hard for me and why put myself at a risk of cheating when Ill be so close to surgery. I'm going to make my rounds to visit family on Good Friday.

Today I started my 2 week liquid diet. I cant believe in 2 weeks I will be sleeved!
I am totally at peace with my decision. This journey has been at times overwhelming but I have hung in there and jumped thru all the obstacles. Now I am ready to start my new life on April 27, 2011.

I had my pre op testing today and when I went in the Dr. kept saying the sleeve and I was like no my insurance doesn't cover that. Well here to find out this whole time I have been approved for the sleeve. I am doing the happy dance.
So yes I am having the sleeve instead of the rny.

Making a List
Apr 01, 2011
Today I started making a list of things that I need to get before and after surgery. I guess I better get on the ball and get things bought I have 26 days now till surgery. EEK Wow I cant believe its almost here and I have nothing. I go Monday for my Pre-Anesthetic Testing at 2:15pm then at 3 I have my appt. with my Dr. I am getting nervous but excited. I'm feeling really good about my decision these days. My sisters keep asking me if I'm sure I want to do this and my answer has been yes. I'm just wondering how I am going to make it 2 whole weeks without food.....I have never went on a full liquid diet before so this will be new to me. I am just asking God to give me the strength to get thru it all.

Feeling at peace today....
Mar 22, 2011
Yesterday I wrote a blog about being scared. But today I am feeling at peace with my decision to have WLS. My peace came to me while I was thanking people who commented on my topic and as I wrote this I'm sure if I don't have this surgery I will end up with comorbiditys. I guess looking at it like that I prob. should do something before it happens. So yep I am officially at peace. Don't get me wrong I will prob. still be nervous as the time gets closer but for now I know I am making the right choice for me.
I started this journey back in August for a reason I am so close to victory why give up on it now?
Scared....
Mar 21, 2011
Its getting closer to my surgery and I am scared to death right now. Not so much about the surgery itself but of the long term complications that I possibly could have. I read on these forums of the good and bad and I wonder if the good really outweighs the bad. I mean I am excited to lose weight and get healthier but to what risk am I willing to do it at?
I'm sure every-ones nerves run wild before their date so maybe what I'm feeling is normal but what if its a sign that the surgery is not the right choice for me. Man I never thought I would doubt my decision to have WLS.
Maybe when I see my DR. on the 4 of April my nerves will be settled and I will be more at ease. Till then I will just have to keep thinking positive about my decision. Hopefully soon I find peace.........

What if WLS is not for me?
Feb 27, 2011
I wasn't for sure if I wanted to blog this or not but I decided might as well. I am full of emotions today and have been for a few days ever since I got my surgery Date.
What if Wls is not for me? What if I fail at this too?
I seriously have a problem with food as I have learned these past few days. I guess I didn't realize how dependent I am on food. I am going to seek counseling and see if they can help me resolve some issues. I know I need to get things under control before surgery and that's why I am seeking advice on what to do.
I'm ashamed to admit the amount of weight I have gained in the last 6 months. I blame the quitting smoking but really that was just my excuse to eat. See I know it was an excuse I just need to find out why. In the last 2 months I have tried to diet and exercise. Exercise I seem to do ok with but the whole dieting idea well that's another story. I do good for a day and then it goes to hell. What is wrong with me why cant I do this?
How do I expect to have surgery when I cant even go on a diet for more than 2 days? So my to do list tomorrow is find a counselor that deals with food addictions and maybe go see a dietitian.
