Tomorrow will mark a new day for me. At 6:00 am, I am to report to Riverside Hospital for Gastric Bypass surgery. For the last 7 days, I've been on my pre-surgery diet. It was a liquid based diet limited to 650 calories per day. In the last 6 days I have already lost 15 pounds! I weighed in this morning at 360 lbs.
I have been fat for as long as I can remember. I've tried every diet imaginable but the weight remains. My knees hurt, I'm now pre-diabetic and my blood pressure is high. I have come to the realization that I must make drastic changes or I will not be around to see my son grow up.
About six months ago I began this journey with Dr Steven Myers at Fresh Start Bariatric and they have been great. They offer a very comprehensive program covering all aspects: Physical, Emotional, Diet and exercise.
Wish me luck tomorrow!!!
