Today is 5/15/08 and my surgery is tomorrow. In some ways it seems that this has been a long process, but at other times I wonder how I got here so quickly. I have never been thin in my life, and this is the reason the goal weight I set is not a low one. I can't envision thin, but I can certainly do less fat. I will be 50 in October, and I decided that after I lost 37lbs on Jenny Craig two years ago and then gained 25 of it back that something had to give. I knew I needed help to make a permanent change. Last September I went to a family reunion. There were 1st, 2nd and 3rd cousins of mine there. And no one is thin! I looked around me and felt that had to break this cycle, and so here I am. I feel that my mindset is right for this procedure and I am ready to make it work for me. I have lost 20lbs on the pre-op diet, and even though I am sick, sick, sick of sweet protein shakes right now, I know that they have done their part.
