March 2-Achieve in 2015 Begins

mom4x · February 10, 2015

Ok, this is my first post but I've been reading/lurking for a few of weeks. I'm preparing for my bypass surgery which is scheduled for 3/2/2015. I have my pre-op surgery appointment on Monday, 2/16. I begin the 2 week pre-surgery diet on 2/17/2015.

I'm a 40+ yo mother of 4, married for 16 years to a man who has never thrown my weight in my face or used it in any way against me. He is very supportive and he's almost as excited as I am. I've had a weight problem since I was around 11, and I can relate to a lot of the stories I've read on here.

My focus is to, "Achieve in 2015!" I'm open to any suggestions or recommendations, helpful hints and the like. I am so excited and although I'm keeping this choice under wraps from the general public I have an incredible support system in place with family and friends that have walked the journey of getting approved with me. My children are excited as well, they are my best cheerleaders when I want to quit!

Hard to believe that in 3 weeks I will be at home recovering!
