I was moved from the 4th to the 24th. I am sort of disappointed but could really use the extra 20 days to prep my house!

October 17th here and I am SOOO excited!

I am the 19th. I actually have to loose 7.5 lbs in a week. Before my preop appt. I knew this and just keep putting it off. I don't know why. I do so well on the preop diet and then I cook for my family and it's so good I eat some. Nothing bad but some. So I stop loosing. So all day I did great. Got all my Water in and Protein then made dinner for everyone and ... Ugh! Does anyone else have this struggle? Just frustrating.

I've just started my liquid diet today. My surgery date is October 5th. I am at my highest weight at 225. I am 59 years old.

Can’t stay like this much longer. I realize that I have to make some serious changes in my life. I’ve decided to write a sort of journal of my experience of going through this time in my life. I admit that I am somewhat scared and anxious but it is something that I want very much. I want to feel HEALTHY again.

Just had my first shake. Not so bad. Probably won’t say that after a few days of these drinks. I’m nervous and I don’t know why. I realize that I have to do this for 2 weeks. Will I succeed? I will really try my best. To come this far. I must push myself like I never have before.

I have all the co-morbidities that go with the weight gain such as high blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, joint, back pain and sleep apnea. Very dangerous combination.
