I am scheduled for my sleeve surgery tomorrow a.m at 7:30. Although I started pursuing this back in January, it is almost surreal that it is about to happen! I am not really scared; just anxious to get through it and move onto the next part of the journey. I can be a pretty tough chick when I need to be and am hoping I don't have too much pain, as I'm scheduled to go back to work the following Monday. My job doesn't really allow for me to take alot of time off. I know everyone's body is unique in terms of the recuperation process, but I'm hoping to hear from some of you that I am not out of my mind thinking I'll be able to get back into my normal routine by next week. Thankfully, I have a management job so I don't have physically demanding activity at work, but my job can be very stressful. I work about 15 minutes away from home and don't have children, so in some ways I have less to worry about than I'm sure many of you do in terms of getting back into the swing of things. My boyfriend is the only person who knows what is going on with me and is very supportive; everyone else just thinks I'm taking a week of vacation!

I have about 70 lbs to lose. Have been overweight most of my life. About 7 years ago I lost 150 lbs on weight watchers and looked the best I ever did, but let about 40 of those lbs creep back on over the last 4 years and it's scaring me. I'm 47 and want to make sure I stay healthy and don't experience alot of the health problems that run in my family. Of course, some of my motivation is "vanity based", but for the most part, I just want to feel good and stay healthy and lose the weight before I start going through menopause when I know it will be alot tougher. I have looked to youtube and sites like this for information and motivation and will continue to share my journey as well. Send me positive vibes for tomorrow!
