First Step

I made my appointment for my Lapband surgery. October 1st will be the day my life changes for the better. I've struggled over half my life to try and lose weight, and it just seems that I can't ever get past losing more than 30lbs. I want this surgery to help push me past that point and keep me going. Do I have a goal weight yet? No. Am I thinking about it? Yes. I am going to make mini goals to start with. My first goal is to lose 40lbs.

I will start my pre-op diet 18 days prior to my surgery date. I have to lose 13.5lbs in order to continue with my surgery. I'll be drinking a protein shake for breakfast, another one for lunch, and then a Lean Cuisine or Weight Watcher meal for my dinner. I'll also be starting the gym on Aug 16th. Aidan is going to be starting preschool and I can now take time after work to stop at the gym and get in an hour or so of "Me" time. I've put others before me for so long, but that's going to change starting now!
