Still doing good...I am very proud of myself for sticking this out. I have lost 11 lbs just on this alone. Looking forward to future weight loss and where it will take me.

Ahhh..the smell of sweet success making it through another day. I feel good today. I overcame the biggest craving that I had to cave so far. It was bad...but I blew through it. Here I am at the end of the day proud of myself. 1 week until surgery. Things are looking good.

So here I am on day #3. It has been tough but I can happily say that I am doing it. I had one of the biggest tests today that I passed with flying colors. I had a meeting at work where lunch was served. Of course it had to be pizza from my favorite place. But I sat there, smiling, watching everyone enjoy. After about 20 minutes everyone was done and we were back to the meeting. I DID IT!!!! I didn't let it bother me that everyone was eating the food I love. It was fine! Each day of this diet is getting easier and it will be over before I know it. I am so proud of myself.

Day 2, I was in the dumps...but I overcome that with a positive attitude. Monday night I attend a Dale Carnegie class. This night I chose to share with the class that I am having gastric bypass surgery and how positive a person needs to stay throughout this process. Everyone was so supportive. I was even presented with the Breakthrough award. I was so proud...I cried. What a feeling!!!!

On to Day 4....and another wonderful day!

Although it has been a journey since I started this entire process..tomorrow starts a new chapter to the journey. I begin my pre-op liquid diet tomorrow. I have tons of mixed feelings. I am scared to death that I won't be able to do it. I am excited because I am creating a new me. I am nervous about the things that may or may not happen during the surgery and after. I am remaining positive though. I know this is the best thing for me. I am looking forward to what my future holds. Stay tuned...
