I'm super excited that my surgery is this Friday! My surgeon only has me on a two-day, pre-op liquid diet which I started today... I am SO hungry! I'm ready to eat my shoe at this point but nope, it's not liquid, so the shoe will have to wait. I'm sure once I have the surgery, the feeling will change. I live in the Los Angeles area and have struggled with weight my whole life. All my fat is like a monster-truck tire around my mid section.... Boy, I can't wait to see that disappear! I'm 37 yrs old, 5'6, 227 lbs with a goal to lose about 80 lbs.
My husband and friends are very supportive, although there are some that are not as excited. My husband has also been very fit his whole life and when he's "let himself go" it means he has 10-15 lbs to lose, which he does after running a couple miles each day for a couple of weeks. He has no idea how to process my struggles and doesn't understand the emotional turmoil that comes with the weight problems I've had. We have no children and have had difficulty conceiving, so I am hoping that losing weight can help us with that.
With all that being said, I am hoping to find a buddy (or more) to share this experience with and help each other thru the journey. Hope to hear from you!
