Quitting Smoking
· almostsleeved28 · 06/03/2012 18:18
This is the hardest part of the preparation for this surgery. I have been smoke free for just about 5 days now, and its not getting easier, it just seems to be getting harder. I know this is something I have to do in order to have the surgery. My surgeon wants his patients smoke free for three months before surgery, and I do not have an official date yet so I think that is the reason I am really not motivated to quit 100%. It is definitely something that is very hard for me to do but I am working on it and so far I have been ok.

Starting Out
· almostsleeved28 · 05/29/2012 20:42
Well just starting out for the surgery. Had my initial consultation about 6-7 months ago, really sat down and thought about everything, and finally have decided this is the right thing to do for me. I have always been a heavy girl (or as my husband calls me "fluffy") It is time for me to get healthy and start being able to actually enjoy life, and make sure I am here for my kids to see them grow, and get married and start having their own families. I have so much life left to live, I am only 28 years old and if I keep going the way I am I will die very prematurely. I have so much that I want to do with my life and being the weight I am at now is really limiting me in what I can do. I look forward to being able to blog my journey on here all through the surgery, and beyond.

Slowly But Surely
· almostsleeved28 · 06/16/2012 14:08
Slowly but surely I am getting closer to a surgery date. Went to see the dietician for my pre-op diet and for some tips on my post-op diet. I am really getting closer to getting an actual date!!!! I can not wait! I met someone yesterday that had the same surgery I am having with the same surgeon and has lost 85lbs in three months!!! It was so amazing to see how much success she has had in such a short period of time. Really hoping I have half of the success she had!!!!

One Doctor Down Only About 7 More To Go :)
· almostsleeved28 · 06/01/2012 18:53
Well today I went for my pulmonary clearance. That went really well! I am starting to get more and more excited with each appointment I make. I know I still have a long road before surgery, but you know what once I see more and more checks on my checklist it will be surgery time. I am really getting excited about this. I just really wish some people that are near and dear to me would be as excited for me. But I guess time will tell what their reaction will be once all said and done, and I am SKINNY!!!!!!!
