1st Post

So my best friend asked me to start this blog so she could keep up with my progress, since we are currently in 2 different countries. 

I'm getting sleeved tomorrow morning at 7:30 an am super nervous!! But to be honest, right now I'm more focused on drinking down this entire gallon of Colyte colon cleanser that my surgeon is making me drink. Why, in this day in age, they do not have this disgusting stuff in a pill form I will never know. Absolute misery drinking down what is essentially a gallon of salt water and running to the bathroom every 5 minutes. However, the nurse said that this was the worst part of the whole surgery. I hope she's right!

I just keep telling myself it's worth it because after this surgery is over I will finally have the means to get  my weight and life back under control. I'm sick of being fat, of losing a bunch of weight only to regain it, of feeling horrible about myself all the time and of holding back from doing things because of my weight. 

I've spent a lot of time lurking on "vertical sleeve talk" recently, and have been really inspired. People really seem to lose weight and keep it off with the surgery, so that's what I'm hoping for too! The fact that I'm paying all costs out of pocket will be a motivator as well I'm sure....

Anyway, that's all for now! I'm posting my official "before" pic, which I made as ugly as possible so that when I post my "after" pics I'll look even cuter!
