To the first of many

Well here it goes. I have tried keeping a journal in the past to document memories, thoughts, and past events but for some reason I can never keep with it. So here is my go at a blog. 

The main reason for me wanting to start this is I have begun a journey of revamping and renewing myself both physically and mentally. I started researching Lap-Band surgery in July 2013 and have been working to having the procedure done ever since. Things I have completed  thus far are psychiatrist visits and tests, 6 sessions with dietitian, sleep study, UGI, endoscopy, esophageal motility test, ultrasound of my gallbladder, lab work, and few sessions with the surgeon. All of this information was then sent to insurance for approval, which I got today and that means I got to schedule my surgery! The date is January 29th!! :)

So now begins the next stage, 800 cal/day liquid diet for 2 weeks....Ugh!
