Haven't posted much since I made the 'big' decision! Made it through day 9 of pre op liquids. Feeling a little fuzzy-headed but seems to be clearing.

The last 3 days have been spent mostly in the hospital with my 92 year old dad. Can I say that cutting up his roast beef with vegs. without a taste was an act of sheer willpower? NEVER has hospital food looked like such a wonderful gourmet meal! LOL! I have done it and to be true to myself, not one cheat. Not even a taste.

My reason for the sleeve is that I have lost and gained a small city over my lifetime. This time, I have a tool to help me not to fail. My daughter had this surgery last year, same dr/hospital. She has done really well and lost close to 100 lbs. she is very close to goal. She's soooo glad she did it. She is an RN and will be here for my surgery (and to show off to the surgeon herself). My supportive husband and love of my life will be with me, too. He has been so good not to cook and to take over meals for our grandson we are raising.

So wish me luck and keep me in your prayers! I will return the favor.
