All I can do is cry. I don't understand any of this at all. I am having terrible pain, terrible heartburn, crying all the time, moody as crap, the scales aren't moving at all, and I am not able to eat a freaken thing without doubling over in pain.
I lost more weight on my own then I have with this surgery. I can't eat a thing, and it's really starting to take a toll on me. It's making my life miserable. My family is suffering. This isn't what I had expected at all. I feel

The time has finally come, I will be leaving for my plane in less than two hours. I am getting so excited. I can't believe this is finally gonna happen. I am also so happy that today was my weigh in and measuring day with my hubby. He has done this once a month for me since I started this journey back on Feb.4th, 2013. He is such a great encouragment. I am happy to report I am down 47 lbs now and a total of 22 inches. I can't believe I have done this great and I haven't even had the surgery

Today marks my 5th day pre-op. I was only suppose to do 10 days. But decided to do two weeks. Was worried at first how this was gonna go. So surprised it is going so well. This is my 5th day now. 10 days out from my surgery and the weight is falling off. Since I started this journey on Feb 4, 2013, I have lost 40 lbs. Can't believe I have done this much on my own already. Thought I would be hungry through this pre-op but so far so good. Trying hard to get my protein in everyday. Staying

I have worked so hard the past several months preparing my mind, body, and spirit for this surgery. I continue to work everyday, and will continue to work every day following

I find myself already fearing food. I started this journey a couple months ago. I decided that even thou the surgery was a couple months away I would try to start preparing my body and mind for what is about to happen on May 3rd, my sleeve. However, I find myself at many occasions forcing myself to eat. I don't have the desire most the time, I am afraid to look at food or want food cause I don't want to be a FAILURE once again in my life.... I hope this doesn't become a future problem for me. I
