I am overwhelmed with competing emotions. First and foremost is hope which it has been so long since I have felt. I am also incredibly annoyed at myself for letting my weight get to this point. After all, I was able to stick to the presurgical diet--why couldn't I just somehow find a way to conquer my food demons. I am having a hard time seeing the big picture today but I guess that is to be expected after working a 10 hour day in blistering heat on nothing but 400 calories of Gatorade.

I really am happy to be moving forward. Myy husband is also having the procedure tomorrow in what I like to refer to it as two for the price of one.

I have been reading all of your posts for a while and am drawing strength from those who have walked this path before. I know I will be leaning on you and only hope that I can someday do the same for someone else. Thank you in advance for your good wishes and support.

Boy, I think we have all been down that path more than once asking ourselves why.......The short of it is, you are doing something about it now which is great! Good luck tomorrow Let us know how things go as soon as you are feeling better and can post.
