I am on day 2 of my pre op liquid diet. I have to do this for 2 weeks. My husband, who is having the sleeve done with me, only has to do 1 week. Our surgery is August 5th.

 

I wanted to cry today when I heard my stomach growl. But to be honest I cannot remember the last time I heard it growl. I am learning a lot about this body of mine. That is when the pity party started. I feel like crap. How could I have let myself go this far? How come I did not stop the overeating when I only had 50 pounds to lose?? I went through a list of how, why, when....you name it.

 

I then realized that I am being given an opportunity to get my life back. To enjoy things I have not been able to do. To go places I have been uncomfortable going. I am going to be new.....it is all going to be worth it. And the best part is I have my husband there for support. He will be my partner through this new stage of our lives. We will be a team.

 

So I decided to go wash some clothes. To give myself a change of scenery. To wash clothes I may not be able to wear again someday....

I'm really excited for you and your husband to be doing this together. What a wonderful support for one another! I was sleeved April 29th and my husband is going to be sleeved Aug. 9th. It would have been so much better to do it together. He still tries to get me to go out to eat with him all the time, and its really hard. As a matter of fact the only time I have overeaten with the sleeve is at a restaurants. When he is sleeved he will see what a waste of time restaurants are!
