Wednesday March 18, 2009- I GOT MY APPROVAL 
!!!!!!!!!! Now I can start a life of having energy, no heavy breathing, and no knee pain. I called the doctor's office because I was so tired of the sleepless nights and playing devil's advocate with my mind that I might not get the approval and would have to try this on my own and fail yet again at losing weight. I absolutely love my doctor, Dr. Daniel Herron of Mt. Sinai Hospital in New York City. His whole team is excellent. The nutritionist, the nurse, and the medical assistant, all have made my experience a good one. I remember when I called, the medical assistant remembered my name. That left a great impression on me.
Friday March 20, 2009- I have to start the strict Slim fast diet to prepare for surgery. I have been eating everything I won't be able to eat like I want to for the rest of my life, so I have had junk food; cookies, cake, candy. Now I feel ready to behave myself.
Monday March 23, 2009- I could not get out of bed this morning. I am so weak from not eating like I am used to. I called out sick from work. I have a headache that I cannot get rid of and I want to eat some bread. Is this how it is going to be? I hope not. As much as I want this, I am so afraid that I won't lose any weight at all. I am 255 lbs and have been told by some who have had the WLS that I am a light weight and won't lose as much and definitely not really fast. I am trying to not get discouraged. I am a wreck, I hate anesthesia, I am so afraid to go under. But, I have my will and all directives. Am I being too anal?! I am petrified.
Thursday March 26, 2009- I am so hungry. I have been following this Slim Fast diet to get myself ready for surgery. I am so happy. I never mentioned the surgery date, 
, it is Tuesday March 31st.
Saturday March 28, 2009 - Today was a real test of sticking to the Slim-fast diet. I struggled, had the shakes, caffiene withdrawal. It was not pretty. So, I gave in and had a cup of coffee, then stopped at McDonald's and got 2 fillet of fish sandwiches. But I thru the bread away. and put the fish in a salad. then i went to a gathering and had more fish (FRIED) and wine, and a pc of cake. I was feeling better physically but mentally I feel defeated. But not eating is torture.
Monday March 30, 2009 - ONE more day!!!!! I have not slept. I am a nervous wreck. I just want this to be over and be able to start my new life healthy and smaller. Not thin, smaller.
