Ready, Set, GO!

Its the next to the last day in June. Come Monday it will be July! The count down begins. Wednesday is pre-op testing. The 22nd is Sleeve day!

 

Ready: Since 2004 I've been ready to do something about my weight and have been trying hard to get it together. This decision is the best on for me. So I'm ready!

 

Set: the surgery date is set, pre-op testing date is set, mindset is right, life style is going to settle into one that will allow me to set loose the wild child I am. I can go and fit into places, do things I've been to embarrassed to do because of my size, I get it live!

 

Go! Moving forward to a healthier life, long life God willing. I'm so happy I could cry at times. Its the strength I have found in making the changes. I stopped eating bread, I stopped drinking coffee and tea, I do have decafe around but have not touched it. I've never smoked.

 

I've cleaned out my cabinets of foods I know I must avoid, it's nice being able to give the food stuffs to people that can use it. I've donated clothes that I know I can't wear, won't wear and shouldn't wear lol.

 

I'll spend today packing, I'm moving next weekend into a new apartment. So July is truly a new me month.

 

I admit, I'm getting nervous. But my sister that is supporting me in my decision is coming to visit, it will be nice to have family going in and coming out of this procedure.

 

Thank you to everyone that posts and comments on this site, pro or con. The experiences shared have helped a lot.

 

Continued success to everyone on their journeys.

I'm in the Ready, Set, Go mode myself. Time to get serious, as I've been eating like there is no tomorrow. I'm committing to myself and my fellow "sleevers" to begin my diet tomorrow. My plan is to do Weight Watcher's Points for 2 weeks, then start the pre-op liquids. My choice is HMR shakes. I drank them exclusively for 6 months (5 per day), and lost 100 pounds. Had I been able to keep the weight off I wouldn't be here today, but oh well... it is what it is, most of us have been there, done that, and have the T-shirts. The good news is.... This will be the LAST time I will have to lose this weight. I haven't been able to "diet" for a whole month without blowing it, so now that "cheating" is no longer an option, I should get a good jump start and hopefully I'll be under 200 lbs. by my surgery date. I'm only 5 feet tall, 60 years old, and a slow loser. My goal weight is 125. I CAN DO THIS !!!

Congratz on having the right state of mind for the surgery! I'm having mine done in two days and I'm very excited!

I understand about letting the wild child in you out and doing things that you are embarrassed to do right now! I feel the same way myself!

Good luck!

Lucy
