Gastric Sleeve Procedure 2 Weeks from Today

Disclosure: I receive free product in order to evaluate and comment on my experiences on the Medifast Program. Medifast products and the Medifast Program are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or illness. Any medical improvements noted while on the program are related to weight loss in general, and not to Medifast products or programs.

I’m having the Gastric Sleeve in 2 weeks!

Well this is it. I’m counting down the days until my Gastric Sleeve Procedure. It’s 2 weeks from today. I’m a little nervous and anxious. It’ll be here before I know it but yet still seems so far away.

Yesterday I saw my surgeon. We went over the risks and talked a bit more about what will happen. I’m not really nervous about the surgery so much, however, I don’t love the idea of anesthesia and all the fun things that go with.

And let’s get real here…I’m also not so much looking forward to a catheter. None of that sounds fun but it’s the process and everything will be fine.

This weekend I start the 10 day liquid diet prior to the Gastric Sleeve Surgery. I know it might be a little tough to get through but I’m very happy that I have Medifast products. Their ready to drink shakes are going to be a life saver for me.

All Medfiast Meals can be used on the 5 & 1 Plan, including special shakes for special needs. All Medifast Shakes are prepared by mixing with water, with the exception of our Ready-to-Drink Shakes which are ready to go right out of the package – no mixing required. At only 90 calories per serving, these heart-healthy and lactose-free shakes are great for those on the go.

Ok, so even more real… I really hate this part but I think I’ll be happy to have a record of my weight loss journey. So here goes.

Starting Weight/ Pre-op Weight: 252

I still have to take my measurements but publishing my weight is enough for the day. Whew! At least I know that I’ll never be that weight again. It is only going to go DOWN from here.
