It's Tough

May 02, 2012

Well, I've gotten past the difficulty of the pre-op diet.  I literally felt like I was ready to eat my poor dog...lol.  As of today I'm down 7.3 since last Tuesday.  I've not been perfect, but I've tried to be as best as I can. 

The tough part was actually telling my brother about the surgery.  I told him last night and cried and cried when I tried to explain all the reasons why.  You see, his mother in law had RNY done way back in the day.  She had tons of complications.  As I explained to him, this procedure has changed so much since she had it done in the early 90's.  I also explained to him that I KNOW she isn't compliant with her eating habits.  (she gained most of her weight back)  He understood and agreed.

My brother and I are 10 years apart.  We have the same dad, but different moms.  His opinion has ALWAYS meant the world to me.  In fact, just typing this is making me teary, so I'm going to stop.
