Hang in there and congrads. My date is 10/29 and this week I hve drank 64oz Water daily, walk 10 min. I eat lean cusine twice daily. No sweets, coffee or chips oh I eat every 4 hours. Hopefully this will help when I go on my 2 week Protein prior to surgery. Must admit not to bad.

I have been married for over 20 years. When I began this journey I did not tell my husband I feel it is an individual decision. This process takes time to emotionally rap your mind around everything. Until I was confident that I was going to commit to the process and the surgery then I sat my husband down told him I was going to have surgery on 10/29/12. I explain my reasoning to have it, my research, my doctor's opinion and the length of time I had already invested in the possibility. He understood and realized that he too was about to embark on a journey. For me that was an acceptable initial response. I am sure as I go through the process Protein Shakes and me literally changing before his eyes will either bring out his acceptance or insecurities for us both I am aware that this could breakup the relationship. Why? Because after the surgery a new person will emerge, a person who has been hidden for a long time. For me the person who will check in at the hospital will not be seen again a new person will be checking out. The core of who I am will only remain. The new body will begin to emerge. I forgot to mention I only told my two best friends. Today a few more people know ( my sis, my son and daughter). Others will know after surgery, and there are others who will only know I am on a great weight loss program that is finally working lol. Make no mistake about it this decision will enhance what you have or not. For me it is a scarific worth risking. Its about a new healthier life for me. Good luck appreciate comments.

I just want everyone to know today I received my surgery date which is 10/29/12. I have serveral appointments to make, prep for a 2 week fast and shopping for essentials after surgery. I am excited. I have bcbs insurance and after all paperwork was submitted it only took 3 days for approval.
I want everyone who participates in responses and post thier journeys (good or bad) how informative and extremely helpful it has been to me. Truly if you are not a participant in this journey, most people can never understand where we have to go mentally and physically. For you pre and post sleevers I congradulate and honor your presence for truly you are people of courage, insight, preservance and you dared to dream that your lives count! I will be posting various aspects of my journey! I welcome your comments.

I have not officially started my liquid diet, but i have been replacing meals for the past week. I have been drinking 64 oz of Water, and it is really hard some days without my new belly. You know the more you look at your goal the better. Keep your eye on the prize. food has gotten us all in this place, Celebrate your new beginning. This is really about changing your mind. Think about your favorite food (one item) and eat that instead of sabbataging your self. For me I will eat a nice size piece of choclate cake, that is it. This is not the last supper, it is like having a new life, all things will be new so enjoy the ride. Change the way you think about this whole process lol good luck.
