Best Birthday Gift!
Jan 16, 2012
One week into my pre-surgery diet and I lost 10 lbs, not a bad start at all. I have not struggled at all, no thoughts or desire of wanting or cheating on unhealthy food. One problem I did find is I hate and I mean I hate the already mixed high protein drinks, they are sweet and chalky tasting. I have stuck to the carnation breakfast drink and my healthy dinners. I have done great without my diet pepsi and doing great with no caffine. I'm so happy with week one and I pray this week goes as good. Getting nervous about surgery but I still know this is the right thing for me. It will be busy getting my family set up so when I have surgery they are taken care of for a week and I'm taken care of also. My birthday is the 21st and my gift this year is a new healthy life.

My First Day of Pre-Surgery Diet.
Jan 09, 2012
Two weeks until my surgery, I'm so excited and at the same time I'm scared. Now that my surgery is getting closer I find myself having restless nights, just laying there, thinking how much pain will I be in, what will I look like when I lose my weight, etc......Last night I laid there thinking how did I get here, 48 years old and 272 lbs, not good, not good at all. I have a great life, I've been with the love of my life for 29 years, have two great kids and we are debt free. I don't fight with my husband, my kids are great kids, my parents were great parents, my siblings are another story, but they aren't enough of a problem for me to eat my life away. I came up with the same answer I have for years now, I am a person that gets addicted. I smoked for 20 years and am very proud to say that I am smoke free for 3 1/2 years now and was one of the hardest things I've done in life. Problem is I have replaced smoking with eating and I know that I will NOT replace my addiction this time. I'm happy I found this site and I hope to get much support from those that have been through Gastric Bypass surgery and I look forward to giving support back. Wish me luck, today my new life begins.
