Well I'm counting down the days until my surgery and everything is coming together well and time is flying by so quick. I started this process back in February and I can't believe its almost May already lol. Well its been a long time coming to get a Lap Band and its been a full year of researching all the surgeries and soaking up all the info I can get. I'm stoked on getting the surgery and living a better lifestyle and being healthy and doing the things I thought I would never be able to do with being overweight. There is a light at the end of the tunnel and I will get there!!

My Pre-Op diet consist of High Protein and low carbs (800-1100 calories per day). I'm not looking forward to it but I have a great mindset and I will push through it!! I have been doing little things for the past week to kind of prep myself post op by portioning my foods, reading food label's, chewing thoroughly and not drinking while I eat. I gotta say its rough trying to kick the drinking part but I know if I continue doing that I will have nothing but issues after getting my lap band.

I had the chance of going on video last week to document/track my progress after surgery and beyond. I never thought in a thousand years of making a YouTube video and letting the whole world see me lol. Since researching for my surgery, just watching other peoples videos it gave me the bravery and inspiration to do it and knowing in a year or two I could look back on it and just smile on how far I have came.

Well I will shut up for now Good Luck to everyone that is about to have there surgery
