Zentastic

I gained 50 pounds in nursing school. I had already been struggling with my weight before. This took me to a very unhealthy weight of 265lbs. Diets have been absolutely worthless. I exert so much energy to lose 10 pounds over a month just to gain it back over one weekend of indiscretion. 
I love exercise and physical activities but I can not physically do the activities I want without my knees and hips hurting from the weight. Swimming is great but I can't make it to a pool every day to burn off the calories I need.
I have chosen the gastric sleeve as a tool that will help me control my portion sizes. I can control portion size for so long now, but then I have a bad day or two and eat until I feel relaxed. Those kind of days can pack on 10 pounds a week. That and the inability to burn off those calories with exercise has put me in a death spiral. 
My surgery will be December 30th 2014. I have started the liquid diet 2 weeks out and have lost 10 pounds the first week. I should be down 20lbs on the day of my surgery. The weight loss with liver shrinkage should help with the success of my surgery.
