I just found out I was approved for surgery late Friday afternoon in the midst of running errands, projects and family stuff.

Never had that OMG can't believe it. I have told a few friends, family. No one today to share where I am with this, so I came here.

Not sure why I feel alone in this journey tonight.

I did battle a cold this weekend. But just feeling blah.

Trying to figure out how to rebuild my energy for my preop diet, planning for my new life.

Once I confirm time off for this at work I will feel better.

Glad I have u guys, and I am not alone. My wife is very supportive, but does not get all of this.... All the time.

Time goes by really fast the closer you get to your surgery date. I am about a week away and I keep asking myself where has time gone?

Talked to my boss today, she was very supportive. Told her I was having a sleeve, not just bariatric surgery like before. She said any week was good except the week of September 17th. So it looks like Sept 24 th may work. Going to call the surgeons office tomorrow, if I do not hear from them by noon. They should of gotten my acceptance packet from the bariatric coordinator, since she called me Friday.

I am actually excited to do the preop diet. Some of my last meals over the summer left me feeling not so good. Time for a deep carb cleanse, and prep for a new life!

Maybe this is my "midlife crisis" reaction.... Ah, perhaps a sportscar when I get to goal. Take the wife on a romantic roadtrip to the keys.

But first, I drink shakes!

I Desoerately need a carb cleanse! Sounds crazy but I want my doc to put me on a longer pre op diet.

I thought of starting early, too!

When I was successful on weight watchers for a few years, I never felt better because I had stopped eating all sweets and junk food.

Justine and Chad I found on the Friday and was given a surgery date of Sept 10th! So excited and can't wait to be on the other side....we will have to keep in touch since we are all being sleeved in September! Best regards on this awesome journey

Planning on two weeks. Unless I get bored.

Hi Justine and Chad! Good luck to you both! We'll be waiting for you on the other side!
