A friend suggested I start a blog so here goes....WARNING - ROOKIE ALERT!
About six weeks ago I made the decision to have weight loss surgery. Today is the official DAY ONE of my new start with a procedure to make sure all is normal with my stomach. Tomorrow I begin the two week pre-op diet to prepare my body for Gastric Sleeve surgery on October 29th.
So far on this journey I have been learning all I can about diet, nutrition, medical jargon, commitment, support, and myself. This decision is "all about me", not a road I go down very often! But I have health issues I can no longer ignore, a spine that needs some relief, a beautiful Granddaughter and new Grandbaby due in April that I want to be around to watch grow.
I am amazed at the amount of caring, positive support from my husband, family, friends, medical providers and co-workers! I appreciate all of you so much. I am fortunate to have a friend who went through the same procedure last year to answer all my stupid questions and be a cheerleader when I need one.
Enough of the inner reflection...starting tomorrow I'll probably be posting how much I hate protein drinks and Healthy Choice 300 calorie meals!
