Feb 04 2010: My G.P. referred me to The Bariactric Study in Winnipeg, letter is in the mail!

Sept 7 2010: I finally got a call today to set up an appointment to be seen by one of the surgeons at the clinic.

I am a perfect candidate for the surgery!  Not over the BMI of 47!! (close I am 43.1)
I should be getting sleeved sometime in November or early December. 

Sept 29 2010 -Nutritionist (Laura)went over guidelines and received a notebook full of information, signed pre-op paperwork with Julie, she will call me with surgery date.(I asked about cancellation list) 

GOT THE CALL........Choice of October 19th or November 2, 2010!! 
Looks like I will choose to have my surgery on the 19th of October, it is my daughter's 4th Birthday!!  My parents will be able to fly in from Abbotsford, BC to stay at the house and help my darling husband


Oct 4th 2010, start the medi-trim shake diet today.  I ordered the product directly from the supplier, it was cheaper per box and they delivered right to my door.  Saving in the pocket!!  I got 3 boxes of Chocolate and 3 boxes of Vanilla.
*Oh my god this is not going to be easy!  3 shakes a day + 2 cups of certain vetables
*Headaches, muscle aches, shaking, so they say this is normal??

Oct 10, 2010, took a picture for the 10/10/10 date in history.  One day I will be a 10 again!!
The shake diet is really hard for me I am a landscaper/grass maintenance worker. 
*The first 3 days I thought WHAT THE HELL am I doing, it gets better...
*I drink 1 shake in the morning, snack is 1 cup diced celery around 10am, lunch is shake and dinner is 2 cups of brussel sprouts, pm snack is the shake again!
