Well, here I am at 3:13 AM looking for everything I need to order or have for after surgery. I for the most part have what I need. It's just my mind. LOL I am super nervous and I have surgery Monday morning around 5 AM or at least that's my arrival time. To be Frank, I'm scared chitless. I never do anything, but I'm just so sick of being this way. I have done diets, pills, and everything. The 1972 Dr. Atkins book helped me lose 100 lbs, but gain it back once I fell off the low-carb wagon. But, I have more faith in this process. I'm going to have the gastric sleeve.

The surgery is as much about hope as the weight loss for me. My doc tried to talk me out of the surgery because I lost so much weight on the lifestyle change diet they made me go on, but I told her I needed the hope and I'd have never gone on such a restrictive diet without an end in site. Studies have shown that a low calorie diet usually results in regaining more than lost. I need this reset so I can eat less and my body won't fight me. Just gotta keep my mind on my side.
