Today is Sunday, April 5,2009. This is my first blog for my upcoming WLS. My surgery is scheduled for 4/13/09. I am currently in my 2 week pre-surgery diet and it has been quite tuff. I know the surgery is very important so I am trying my best to stick to the diet. This first blog I am going to document some important dates that has brought me to this surgery date along with my weight and measurements.
