So as of yesterday I am 3 weeks post op and I am doing great! Physically I am feeling good, mentally I am still struggling with not being able to reach for my old friend junk food. Every time I decide I want junk food I tell myself that I am not doing this just for myself but I am also doing it for my children. I need to set the example for them.

Since surgery it has actually been a pretty easy ride. I have had no complications as of yet. The only thing I have noticed is that I do get fatigued very easy, but I think that it is all part of the healing process. I am currently on pureed stage of foods, and I find myself almost struggling with this stage more so than the liquid diet. I really feel like I am ready to eat some actual food, but I know I need to let my pouch heal.

I have had an excellent support system since I have had surgery. My co workers have been awesome and my family has amazed me beyond words. I hope that this support continues through out my entire journey. I know that I have a long road ahead of me, but I am ready for the challenge!!!

So a new year, a new me? Well today I started the 2 week preop liquid diet. It is going to be a difficult ride I think. I have been mentally preparing myself but for some reason it is still alot harder than I thought. When I was cooking lunch for the husband and kiddies I found myself really wanting to eat some of it. I knew that I could not have it and I keep telling myself that it is not a perminant thing, I will be able to eat normally again.

I am getting nervous for surgery, not so much the surgery part but what life is going to be like afterwards. I have been doing tons of research and this is not a decision I have taken lightly. I have really thought about this, and after exhausting every other option of weight loss, I decided to go this route. Jan 14th is only 2 weeks away!!!
