Well, day one of preop diet and almost over. Sometimes I want to run! This is the third time I've attempted lap band surgery. 1st time, the dietician was so rude that I would rather do it on my own. I did. I lost 60 lbs on WW, but then my life got really busy due to a promotion at work and I went back to all my old habits. Then, I was scheduled on 1/21/11 for surgery. My father passed on 1/13/11. So, here I am again. 3rd times a charm. I'm going to do this this time. I'm going to do it for me, my kids, my husband, my family, and for my #1 hero, my Dad. He's with me going through this too. We're going to do it together just like we planned to do. Only he's in Heaven guiding me. I miss him. I need all the help I can get from all the Heavens.
