I just found out that my surgery has been approved by the insurance company. On August 20th I start a new chapter in my life. I'm nervous and excited. This has been a big decision and I am praying I have a healthy and successful journey. I am 46 been overweight Almost all my life. My husband is on board but nervous about the surgery. I have 2 children my daughter who is 26 and excited for me and a 15 year old by who is nervous about me having the surgery too. Now that I'm at the end of the mandatory requirements I feel relieved. My next thing is the 2 week diet before my surgery. One week of that I'm on vacation. I have to be diligent and stick to the program. But I'm sure it won't be easy.

Make the Protein shakes, yogurt taste as good as possible. I recommend the book, "The Bariatric Foodie Guide to Perfect Protein Shakes."

Best of luck to you, hope to be on my journey soon
