Fast forward 6 years

Mar 24, 2014

Okay, so back in 2008, I was going to have RNY.  But just as I got approved, my husband got a job offer that meant I could move back to where my family was.  I decided to wait on the surgery, and make the move instead.

After many detours, here I am again.  This time though, I will be doing the VSG.  I'm actually convinced it all happened the way it was meant to be.  I'm very excited to have this option that wasn't there 6 years ago.  In the past 6 years, I have done what I always do.  Lose weight, put it back on, lose weight, put it back on.  So I'm still the same starting weight I was then.  Sigh.

I'm also on day 7 of my pre-op liquid diet, so I'm not exactly right in the head.  I'm hungry, and little lightheaded.  But every day I have chosen to stick with it.  I don't worry if I will stick with it tomorrow.  Today, I am strong enough for this.  And I've already lost 10 pounds.

Surgery is scheduled April 1st.  Bring it on.
