Ok , tommorow starts my pre-op diet.  I am really excited but also anxious.  Tomorrow is the first day of my journey towards a healthier life. I am really great at loosing weight.  I just never had much luck at keeping it off. Until now...... I spent yesterday in the bed.  At least untill 7PM.  I was just too tired to move.  I felt much better today.  I even baked a pumpkiun cheese cake to take to my friends house on Thanksgining.

It will be very interesting doing my liquid diet at work.  I'm sure there will be lots of questions. I am taking my gym bag to work tomorrow, so I won't have any excuse to come home. My blistered feet and chaffed thighs are a lot better now.   I'm sure my children will have questions when they see what I am eating also.  Too bad.  This is for me.  I don't have to explain it or justify it with anyone.  For the first time in my life, I am doing something just for me.

I am two weeks pre-op and very anxious.  I chose not to tell my friends or co-workers.  I did tell one friend that I know is also going through the process.  She has agreed to be with me on surgery date.  I've been reading everything I can on the message boards.   I almost feel like this is my last chance to get this right.  My life style has changed so drastically over the last two years, that I know that if I don't do something now, it may soon be too late.
    My kids are all grown up (even though two returned home after college, thanks economy) and I am currently divorced.  It's the first time in my life that I am not taking care of someone else.  Now it's time to take care of myself.
