Saturday September 13

I am on day 5 of my all liquid diet. It is getting easier every day. I still would really like something "real" to eat... you know, like a big juicy steak! :O)

4 more days of the carnation instant breakfast, then I get to drink some special shake that the doctor requires.... 2 of those a day and a protein shake. So, I just keep telling myself that it will really be worth it in the end.

I really appreciate all of the support that I have been getting from my friends and family. PLEASE... keep the encouraging words coming my way! You have no idea how much it helps me.

So this week I have the pre operative tests; lab work, appt with the doc, and and upper GI test. Sounds like fun huh?

Oh, I am down 7 lbs as of this morning too!

Thanks for checking out my blog and hope you will come back again and follow me on my journey.

Love you all!!

About Me

My photo
I am 38 years old. I have a wonderful husband, Rudy, who supports me in everything that I do. I have a great family of supporters and of course all of my good, good friends! I love my life! In early May I decided that I am really not happy with my weight. Regardless of all the things that I have tried, nothing seems to work. Rudy and I went to an informational meeting regarding the lap band system and gastic bypass. After much research and many questions, I made the decision to have the lap band done. Having had lots of lower back issues and other health factors, I know that the time is now to do something before I get too old. I want to be able to look back at my life with no regrets. There are many things that I do not do right now because I just don't feel comfortable in my own skin. And so my wonderful journey begins..... my pre operative requirements have all been met and my surgery date is scheduled for September 25, 2008!
