My new life begins in 1 day

[thikkay 69]

Well just one more day till I start my preop diet and I must say I'm scared and excited at the same time. Tomorrow I will weigh and post my measurements. Kinda curious if I gained any weight in the past few weeks cause I have been eating any and everything that I know I won't have ever again. I'm paying for my surgery because my insurance doesn't cover any weight surgeries. I feel like I owe this to myself I have spent my whole life taking care of others now it's time to take care of my self. I have struggled with my weight since I was in middle school. I'm so ready to shop in the regular size women's department instead of a hidden plus size section. The determining factor that made me make the decision to have surgery was when my boyfriend and I went to Orlando to shop at the outlet mall. I couldn't fit any clothes at any of the stores including Nike and Addidas even women's workout clothes didn't fit what sense does that make. I cried on the inside all the way home and was so ashamed of myself. I had had enough. So my story begins on Tuesday 10/25 with my 2week preop diet. More updates to come.

One of my most vivid memories before starting this journey last March was going to the Polo outlet and being to big for anything in there. It made me so sad. I can't say that was THE defining moment that cemented my decision to begin this journey, but it certainly was an important moment!

Good luck to you!!

@@thikkay The post-op diet can be challenging but stick with it - it will not only prepare your body for a safer surgery but will prepare your mind for post-op. One day at a time - it'll be surgery day before you know it! Good luck!

It's only day one and lunch time I must say I'm starving. I didn't realize how my life revolved around food until I had to drive by chick fi la and couldn't stop to get my regular nugget meal. This is a lifetime change I know and I gotta do this.
