I am so glad to finally have my date. what about you guys? anyone else has a date for January?

Share it!

10 Days! it still doesn't feel real! I have been on the pre-op "optifast" liquid diet for 5 days now! Last night we went shopping for the post op liquid phase.. We read EVERY label that we put in our cart! If it didn't fit the guidelines we were given then it did NOT go in the cart. We read up on some mushy food items and found some surprising things that we WILL be able to eat and some that we won't be able to eat. Everything is getting real but it still hasn't hit my brain yet that after all the hoops we have had to jump through (including loosing 7 pounds during Christmas!) that is really is going to happen and NO one can stop it but me!

I have told my parents who are lap banded (one succeeded and one is not working at it) my boss, (my co-worker team just knows I am having surgery) and my 4 dearest friends. I got really good responses from EVERYONE! Some were a little hesitant since we had originally planned on the lap band but BMI's being what they are and having a great doctor who WANTS us to succeed we are now going to be sleevers! We are not telling the hubby's parents due to their response when we had just been "talking" about going to the seminar about WLS. The greatest response was from my boss. He just grinned and told me that what ever I time I need we will work it out and if I need anything to let him know!

My hubby and I have gotten to where we are together and we are going to get rid of it together! I am so thankful to have such an amazing support team sitting right next to me. I know I will never fail with him at my side!
