I have so many people in my life who are not part of my day to day world, and won't be able to see my progess up close and personal...this is for you! I will post photos and updates as I take this journey through lap band surgery.
Some have questioned why I'm doing this...isn't will power enough...why don't you just diet...all the usual questions. I have tried just about every diet over the last 20+ years, and I've lost tons of weight, but gain it all back as soon as I start eating regular food again. Losing weight is clearly something that I cannot do alone. I have high blood pressure and sleep apnea, and there is a high family history of stroke. I see myself headed in that direction if I don't do something, and do it now. So, here we are.
I start the pre-op diet tomorrow. The plan right now is for surgery on the 13th. After that it'll be liquids for a couple of weeks, and then I start adding foods back into my diet. I see the surgeon on Thursday, and I'll get all the scoop then.
Keep coming back to visit and see how I'm doing...

Hey you! I found your journal through Facebook. I have a journal here on Blogger too, so I added you to my list of journals I follow. I didn't know you were gearing up for the surgery. I hope/pray it goes well. There is another journal I follow (Journey Back To Me) of a woman who had the surgery 5 months ago and is doing fantastic. Check it out for encouragement.

Hey sugar! I didn't know about the surgery either. But, you can count on me to follow you and to be there for support. I love you!
