Today I was getting my tests done my surgery, and it hit me, I'm really going to do this. went to see the dietitican, behaviorist same day I have to follow a 1500 calorie diet for a week to see how this works, Also have to see a therapist before I can set a date (which I'm after this). I'm Happy yet stress about it. My Family ain't to happy about it. My aunt even had the nerv to say I'm taking the easy way out. They don't even know how this works even offer to see the dr. so they asks questions. So as of right now, the won't know nothing untill may 2 weeks before the surgery. Simple and Done, unless they asks questions, they won't know.

Before I get the surgery my dietitian wants me to do a 1500 calories diet to see how and I also have to get 60 g of protein which is hard, any suggestion how to get it in because I keep missing about 5-10 a day.

I only told my mother, brother, and my aunt that I was doing the sleeve (aunt still not sure.)I really couldn't tell my father cause he shuts down on me when I talk about. The reason is My mother had the roux en y in '05 and less than a year my mother left him. so weight loss surgey, bad taste in mouth. My dad decided stay home today, and when I went to grab a bowl of cereal, he asked " Have you decided on what surgey you doing?" I was shocked. so I told him about the sleeve and my reasons.He said that he support me. How happy I am about that, I feel... i don't know, weird about it. I just hope i'll get over the overthinking.

Today is my first step. I 'm excited that very soon I get become a more happier, healthier me. I just can't wait to do this. I'm also a scared but just a normal thing i guess, your changing yourself. But I also fear that I won't get the support from my family as well. I'll start pray about it and hope for the best.
