 It has been 7 weeks since my vsg and  I have lost  40 lbs since surgery and another 11 on my pre op diet so 55 lbs in total.  I am satisfied with my weight loss, actually more than satisfied, I am extremely happy    I am beginning to  definitely  notice in my clothes and face. No ones else does but this is OK for now.  I know my husband is just being "supportive"  when he says he  he does., he looks really hard and asks me to turn every which way ( men!)   I am under 300 lbs now but when I get under 250 if I do not get  compliments I  will be annoyed LOL.  

September 15th  wil be my new date of birth, new life , new beginning! 

I know veterans  get tired of  answering the same questions soooo  instead of asking every little thing , I am reading a lot and getting ready. As soon as I scheduled my sleeve new questions starting popping up. The should I or should't I stage is over,  the where to go stage is over and I can say it has been a huge relief.  Now I am getting ready making sure I have every single little thing I need  for when I am sleeved.  God forbid I might not have the key element to my success !  I guess it really just keeps me from worrying too much, focusing on stuff I can control instead of thinking of things I have no control over. 

 This is exactly how I am feeling      

I NEED this surgery. 

I WANT  this surgery. 

I DO NOT want to be obese the rest of my life. 

I HAVE to change. 

I WANT to be healthy. 

I WANT to live longer. 

I AM SCARED OF FAILING. 

I am scared I will waste this opportunity of changing my life. I have let myself dream again of being a healthy normal weight.
