My fast-day 1

Today I started my pre-op diet. It has not been too bad. I know I am going to have to go to bed earlier. I have been reading my post surgery diet for the first 7 weeks and it seems different from other information provided. I guess I will eventually learn.

I lied to one of my co-workers today. I had been pretty open about my pursuance of this surgery but once approved, I have been private. I can only hope she understands why I had to be quiet. I don't want all eyes on me. My success is mine and my failure is mine. I do believe I will have success but I don't want pressure from others. My coworker had specifically asked if I got approved for the surgery and without hesitation I told her I was still waiting. I feel a little bad because she is good people. I guess in the end she will know and will understand the path I took.

I was a little nervous about the surgery but reading posts from this site is soothing. I feel like I am going in the right direction.

God is good and I am thankful for the strength He has provided me.
