Beginning New Life

Jun 05, 2014

Have 4 days until I start my pre-op diet. When I was scheduled for surgery 2 months ago, the date seemed so far in the future. It feels like it has been the blink of an eye and now the start of the journey is here. Ate a breakfast the same as I have on my pre-op diet. While not completely feeling full, I am satisfied with my choice. Am visiting my Mother and she kept asking if I was sure I didn't want more, and I repeatedly had reassure her that I was fine and she would need to get use to me eating very small amounts. She smiled and agreed with me; as I gave her a hug and told that in the future she can give me hugs instead of food.  

My Mom and significant other have been very supportive from the beginning of looking into WLS for my morbid obesity. Mom has went to the seminar and all Dr. appointments and consults, and will be taking me to my surgery as well as helping me the first week. She is retired so is able to be available. As I was in ICU a year ago and was considered almost dead for a month, she is protective and want to be present for all surgeries and procedures whether there is a risk or not. I really appreciate all she has done for me and with me. 

Am so excited. Since the last 2 months have past so quickly, can imagine how fast the next 2 weeks will go. Have menu made for next two weeks and hanging on my refrigerator; and exercise diary is printed out and have started doing it. The excitement of a new future has me motivated to succeed.
