WLS Part 2 - Electric Boogaloo

[Lavender Gooms 7]

I am laying down in my bed, strapping my mask on my face and activating my CPAP machine for tonight. I am twenty five days from going through weight loss surgery for a second time. I intend to chronicle my journey in hopes that I will lose track of what I am doing. I finally weighed myself for the first time in three months and now I weigh 405 lbs. I can't wait to begin my two liquid diet to lose weight before the surgery, I should begin immediately.

Electric Boogaloo - lol I loved that movie and the first... I think they cut way to many scenes but the music and dancing was what made it. ????

Well, today is the first day of the liver shrinking diet before my surgery in two weeks. Today, I went onto the scale for the first time in three months, and I weigh 410lbs. It pains me to type this but I did it to myself. I started at 350lbs when I considered WLS and after I got my band removed, I am up 60lbs. At least today, I can begin my journey to become healthier.

Day 2 of pre-op went off with out a hitch. I mainly had Water, 3 shakes and a sugar free orange Popsicle. I hope I can continue this since tomorrow I will be at feast in Brooklyn, a BBQ on Saturday and heading out to San Fransisco for a week.

Day 3 went well, however, I consumed only Water and my Protein shakes. I didn't have a chance to work out but hopefully that will change tomorrow.

You are doing fantastically well!

Stand strong, Friend. The third day is usually the toughest and that is behind you now.

You're setting the bar high for any who follow.

Thanks Valentina!

Day 4 also has gone well so far, expect for my thoughts of going to buy burgers and pizza. I have maintained for today by just having a yogurt with my three Protein shakes and Water. I just want the 25th to hurry up.
