I Think Admitting Defeat Was The Hardest...

[happyfam 24]

I felt like I was admitting defeat' date=' too....until after the surgery. Now I feel like I have taken control over my body--and food has so little power over me now. I faced the enemy and I am winning![/quote']

I was writing something similar to this, but it didn't post. I'm pre-sleeve, but that's my take on it. To cry because you had to acknowledge defeat is completely backwards. You were already defeated. You were loosing the battle every time you chose food over your health. By choosing WLS you have claimed the final victory. A congratulations is in order! Yea for you.

Hi Vicki, I just sent one back

Everything went really well today, I will be checking into Good Sam in San Jose at 530am on the 12th, the surgery is scheduled for 730am, it'll be roughly 60-90 minutes with one hour of post op recovery and then up to my room for the night.

As far as liquid diet... only the day before is complete liquids. Currently I hate to eat Breakfast though so I am doing a shake in the morning, coffee until lunchtime, lunch consists of veggies and meat and dinner is the same. Super low fat, low carb and high Protein and according to the NUT that'll do the trick with thinning the stomach lining and reducing fat in the liver.
