So far so good. No cheating, only even slightly tempted once but thought it through and didn't flinch. Have almost told everyone I need too at work, a few more to go on Monday and I'll feel covered with prayer. My husband has made every effort to make the meals not so bad. He has tried several ways to make the food I don't like taste better. Hope this keeps up. Talked to someone this morning for a long time before work about her experience. She has done it twice and shared her struggles with me. I don't have near the issues so I feel very thankful. Surgery scheduled at 10:40 am, Thursday.

Monday day 3. Food was easier today, had a mid evening hunger issue. Only had 2 drinks left. Decided I need to have drink for breakfast so I have crunch for after supper. I got lunch (soup) and dinner (jello and bar) down. That works great. 2 of the kids told me I look skinnier, made me smile. Got an email from my best friend first thing this morning so that made my day start out great too. Praying alot I find myself doing. Praying for strength and preserverance.

Sunday was day 2, had a hard time finishing everything in my bag today. The pudding is icky. Not one cheat, yippee! Went for a walk with my hubby and a couple of my kids, I was a little winded when we got home but that never killed anyone so "suck it up" is my motto.

Over all not so bad, will do something different tomorrow with the order I eat things, I ended up with too much strawberry items as the last 3 things to eat. I miss texture, I wish I would of tried some it before this so I could of just done the same thing for 2 weeks. Told my best friend today what I was doing, have one more best friend to tell tomorrow then I've told those I really know will pray for me and my success. The smells in the house are a bit challenging when eggs were made this morning and such, but my husband is doing all the rest of the cooking for the family so that is helpful.

Today was my pre op. I start the medical food diet for the next two weeks before my surgery. I divided them all into 14 bags so I didn't make any mistakes. I thought it looked like the kind of food they eat in space! I'm moving on to the next step...still scared and excited!

April 10 is my day!

I got my Sleep Test approval for surgery today! YIPPEE Walked it over to the office myself, now I just have to wait for my next call. A little closer. I have maintained my weight the last month so that is at least good, though I wanted to be down.

I got my insurance approval for surgery but I tested for sleep apena and have to have my equipment fitted on 2/6 then wait 4 weeks to get approved by the Sleep Apena doctor to have my surgery scheduled.

I have only told one person, my husband that I am this far. I know I need to do this for me and my family but I have tried so many things and nothing sticks so this is kind of my last resort.

So far I have learned alot about shopping and eating that I didn't know so the education is sticking. I'd like to know how others handled telling people they hang around with, work with or go to church with.
