I am tomorrow, August 7th. Today is the 2 year anniversary of my wife's surgery. She had lost so much weight before on Weight Watchers, and put it back on, that I thought she should just go that route again. So I was against bariatric surgery. She had a lap band for 4 years and was miserable, so she had the VSG revision. She's become an Iron Lady. She does kettlebell, which I introduced her to 3 years ago, marathons, mud run obstacle courses. Its time for me to catch up.

I had a three week pre-op because of my BMI. I cheated the first weekend (my wife was out of town). I had barbcue ribs, mac n cheese, peach cobbler. I've been good since then, so it balances out to 2 1/2 weeks on my pre-op diet. I have my surgery tomorrow, so its clear liquids and jello all day today. My wife had her surgery 2 years ago this very week. She was a revision from a lap band, which caused her untold discomfort to a VSG. She had lost so much weight years ago with weight watchers I was against her getting bariatric surgery. But she's turned into Wonder Woman, running marathons and obstacle courses. Time for me to catch up.
