One week till Surgery

[Sarah Waring2014 25]

So I started my weight loss journey years ago but never thought about wls. I decided last year that wls was probably my best bet. So on my oldest son bday, April, I started my supervised 6 month diet. I went through all the testing, pych eval, nut appt and meet with my suregon twice. I have jumped through hoops to get here and now its only a week away. Im scheduled for preop appt on 2/12 and surgery on 2/13. My preop diet has been hard cause I still have a husband and three lil children to cook three square meals a day for but I haven't cheated and I'm hanging in there. Im getting super nervous as they days pass.

I'm being sleeved on 02/11/14. Both scared and excited. The 2 week pre op diet is hard but no way am I cheating. I joke with my husband and say that the surgeon won't even be able to find my liver. I have lost 7 lbs so far. Hoping to lose another 3 before surgery
