    12 more days! I can't wait. It seems so long waiting since we booked back in September. Now its almost here, been preparing myself like crazy.
     
    And shamefully eating all the food I want, not over indulging/overeating just eating what ever foods at breakfast, lunch, supper. I stayed away from some foods for a long time so I am eating that as well.
     
    I am mentally preparing myself that I know I can still have the food but in smaller quantities. Even tho I eat foods that cause me problems. But thats the issue thats all I eat.
     
    So when I have the sleeve done, I am totally changing my diet, protein/ fruits/veggies/nuts/seeds is my priority and the other stuff secondary. It will be so much easy for me to chafe my habits because when its something I don't like or haven't tried I only need to eat a bit.
     
    My pre op diet starts January 2nd, Surgery Date Jan 5th.
     
     
    Merry Christmas !

    Introduction

    By skp,

    September 21st
     
    Current Stats:
     
    Nationality: Canadian
    Age: 26
    Height: 5'3
    Weight: 195 lbs
    BMI: 30+
    Surgery: Gastric Sleeve
    Date: Jan 5th, 2016
     
    Reasons why I am being sleeved
     
    1. Digestive issues: IBS like symptoms
    2. Fertility: TTC 5 years
    3. Intolerances: Wheat, Dairy: Hard to avoid, so I figure if stomach is smaller I would eat smaller amounts so it may cause less havoc on my system.
     
    Reasons for my weight gain:
     
    I always been small all through school age, ate like a bird. Once high school hit a total different story. I don't over eat, I just eat the wrong foods, mainly fast foods and restaurants. I do not like a whole lot of fruits and veggies, I am obsessed with pasta; especially mac n cheese. And I am not active, And my thyroid is low. Now balanced with meds.
     
    When TTC I was put on a lot of meds because I been through 4 IVFs in 2 years. That also caused weight gain. It started to increase over the past 5 years. I was in the 150's 5 years ago, now in the 190's. It may not seem much but it shows. Especially since I am short.
     
    My mother was really overweight my whole life, Got the sleeve last year and lost 110 lbs . My sister is also doing the sleeve with me in Jan.
     
    When its my turn I hope you will follow along with my journey, and hope to inspire others to take charge of their health.
     
    I do not have the attitude that this is "The Easy Way Out" because its not! It is just as much as struggle as anything else. This surgery is a tool to assist, we still got to put in the work of eating healthy, eating the right amount, and exercising.
     
    I will continue this blog in January
