No Turning Back.... But Who Would Want To?!?!

So I finally decided to start my blog so I am able to journal about my journey to becoming fit and healthy. I start my liquid two week diet tomorrow! I am very excited to start the liquids only because I have been pigging out for the past two weeks and feel absolutely STUFFED! I know the next two weeks will fly by because I work the night shift and either I'm working or sleeping--- no time for eating...lol

 

My surgery is scheduled for 7/17/12 @ 7am... as of now I am just totally excited about the surgery. The nervousness and anxiety hasn't kicked in yet. I have spent months reading about everyone's experiences on here and feel pretty prepared about the numerous outcomes.

 

I know I am going to be successful at this because I want it way too bad to not be. I am starting pre-op at 5'6" and weighing 225. I am a confident person and have no problem with the way I look now, I just know I can look better and more fit. I'm very excited to get this weight off and start building more muscles. I want to be toned and athletic (really, me??!) YES ME!

 

I hope to track my journey often and tune back in for more!

Good luck! I meet with the surgeon next Tuesday. Did the psych eval last month. Ins. already good to go with no pre-op diet (unless the doctor wants it) and only 5 days advance notice prior to the procedure. I'm like you, anxious, but I don't even have a surgery date yet! I'm pretty sure he'll ok me, no co-morbidities and my BMI is at 39.9 (I prefer to round up.) :) Hoping his calendar isn't too full once I see him and can get a date within the next month or so!
