5 years later

Mar 15, 2011

I am attempting this again.  My highest weight was right around 365.  I have lost about 10 lbs and am down to 355.  But none of this matters that much because I just completed the last hurdle that I needed to jump through to finally, after 10 years, get the surgery.  
My husband just lost his job and I just had to leave nursing school because I became ill while at clinical (I will be going back though).  With all of these stressors in my life right now, I am absolutely 100% sure that I am still ready for this surgery.  Its so strange that I have chaos all over but the one sense of peace that I have is knowing that I will be experiencing a rebirth within the next couple of months.  
The things that I am actually nervous over are having enough vitamins and protein drinks for the first three months to make sure my body has what it needs.  I need to get some beneprotein and benefiber as well as more truvia in preparation.  And then after the surgery, I need to start collecting clothes that will progressively shrink with me after the surgery.  I need to get my meds that I take now into a chewable form.  
I am ready for this.  More ready than I have ever been for anything and I cannot believe that its happening.  If everything works out, I will be able to return to nursing this fall more healthy than I have ever been in my life.  
Hopefully, everything happening at once is suggesting a super new beginning for my life.
