3 nights to go

I hope that in a year I look at this post and laugh at nervousness and say to myself, "that was the smartest thing I have ever done." I am a few days out. Have not lost weight on the pre-op diet, though there is the issue of scale discrepancy and possible monthly water weight gain. Reading the messages from everyone else that far out, I have started to tell myself I don't want the words "I need to work on my protein" or "I should be exercising more" happen.

 

I'm 35, work full time. Just had a big breakup (he didn't want kids -- thanks for telling me now!), financially trying to get it together for the last 15 years, and I am ready for a change.

 

Yikes!

My surgery is also 3 nights away. It took a mini stroke last year, more meds than I care to list, and years of mirror shock for me to realize that eating myself to death was not the answer.

Life doesn't give us too many do-overs; but, we can make Tuesday our Do-Over, and changing our lives for the better. Being "older", I can tell you that at 35, losing weight will dramatically change the rest of your life!

Focusing intently on your efforts to lose weight using you sleeve "tool" will also help your emotional recovery. Not yet having children means you can cut any remaining strings, walk away, and never ever look back.

Congratulations on Tuesday being the first day of the rest of your life!
