May is arrived! Wow, it was quite fast! This month it will be crazy for me. My surgery is May 29th. But instead of working through it slowly and peacefully I have a crazy month. I will travel to california tomorrow (LA) and from there to SFO (this weekend) I will get back to chicago next tuesday. Not even a week after (next saturday) and I will go to ITaly for a wedding (9 days), In the middle of the italian stay I will start my pre-op diet!!! . The day after the wedding to be specific. My family is driving me crazy, as usual when I go back home they loose mathematical and temporal concept such as 1 week in Italy is made of 7 days and it is not possible to visit the whole family and go to a reahrsal dinner and a wedding in an island. My family is spread out in 5 different cities throughout Italy!!!! it is mathematically impossible. But I love them deeply and will always teach some math to them!!!

I am little conerned since I know I will struggle to get my exercise, my routine will be completely lost and I just hope I will be able to lose 5 more pounds!

About the surgery, I admit I am freaking out a little, it is a big jump and there is no way back. At work we are in the busiest time of the year and with all my travel I am having already so much to catch up that adding an extra month of slow work post op it will make my desk pile going to the roof! Not only I am sure I will be and need to be focusing on myself (for a change) and this means I will take some of my dedication to work away. Feeling little guilty about it (my shrink is so not making progress with me )

Well I will do all it takes to make me an healthy me and hope I will be able to manage my super demanding work and my super time- and devotion-consuming new life. You all have been a great inspiration and you all managed it, so I think I can too, right?

Well good luck to all of us

    sounds like things will fly by for you which will help the anxiety level. I just had my sleeve in 4.23 and I have a graduation luncheon and a wedding on may 19 and flying to Boston for my nephew's high school graduation. I have not even gotten back to work ( plan 5/7) I ahve not told many about surgery so I will have to be creative with my lack of eating excuses!!!! I dont worry too much about being tempted because I have been doing well while others are eating.
    Oh well I am rambling.................but Italy....how awesome!!! have a fabulous time and surgery will hopefully be a breeze

    Lucky You! To have ended my binging days in Italy and the day after an Italian wedding would have been a dream for me. I know your not looking at it like that, but take this away with you. Log everything you do from now through the next year and see if there is not a BOOK in the works here. I can see it now....."SIZING UP MY LIFE TO ITALY!, and the road to a healthier me since then". You lucky, lucky girl you.

    Just wanted to say hi because I have the same surgery date. Good luck with the travels. I went home (South Africa) for a month recently and decided that I wasn't going to overeat no matter how tempting the food was and how many family members were trying to feed me. I went to the beach for a walk/swim most days and ended up losing 4lbs. First weight loss on vacation ever. I think your 4 weeks will go by much faster than mine.
