Still Kicking...

Feb 07, 2013

I seen a few people reach out to me in my email so I believe its time for me to show gratitude and post. I am still excited that God brought me through that surgery. I remember praying on the surgery table scared to death wanting to hurry up and get that anesthesia so that I could go to sleep fast .....so that I can wake the hell up fast....LOL. True Story. I  handing myself over to God....just believing that I was in HiS hands. And here I am today .....I had a protein filled lunch (Kielbasa and beans with shredded cheese and dollop of sour cream and a Protein Shake.  Today  I am a perfect size 6 down from being a 24.  To God be the glory.  That's me getting  my shout on ! Hallelujah. 

If you are considering this surgery today and you are a food addict...(Which means you not only have a weight problem but also a food problem) .I will encourage you in this....the addiction to food doesn't totally get lost, beloved it will still need addressing.  was a 12 Stepper in Overeaters Anonymous and then the Big the other strict 12 step eating program which was  the Cambridge.Greysheet of Greysheeters Anonymous  http://greysheet.org/cms/  (where although I did experience some success, I was not willing to do all of the requirements.regarding the food.

However, I am experiencing more freedom from obsessing over food than prior to the surgery and I feel like I have been given back some of my power of choice to eat or not at times. I have more power over food when I stay under six grams of sugar as I was instructed by MY Doctors office. Then the phenomenon of craving does not set in  forcing me to binge.

Honestly what I have learned in this whole surgery is that food is NOT my friend nor my lover...it can be my worst enemy when I utilize it to soothe  or nurture as opposed to its God Given true reason which is to ....feed my body and get nutrition. If you want this you can do this surgery you through prayer ....determination and also...friends and I mean .the people in these forums......So many are on here every day . This is like the Facebook of obesity surgery ...they have reached out to me...and I have reached out to sooo many on here. Several of us went to surgery the same week it which made it more comfortable and I made me feel like I wasn't going under the knife alone.......Here are my suggestions for Newbies or long time scaredy cats that want it  lol it takes one to know one trust me on that) or perhaps you are still going back and forth on WHICH surgery to do....which can be frustrating ..( hint ...remember with some there are no do-overs) But perhaps you don't want to leave yourself a cushion l didn't. 

1. 1.Reach out to the Old timers in here they have had years of success and are here for you Trust me I was a damn pest to them and still am LOL ...
2. .Make some friends who are where you are at in  the process it is good to have someone to talk to ...make as many friends as you can and discuss things that are on your mind with them

.And speak to those who just came out  of surgery as well as those who need revisions you want to learn from others mistakes

But those Old timers....with long term success......Priceless....and have some sugar free or Splenda made chocolate if possible for Valentines Day....but don't wait for anyone to buy you any.....buy it for yourself....you deserve it .

Smooches beloved,

And no matter what keep it one hundred with yourself!

What does that mean? One Hundred Percent Real!!.

.in other words To Thyself be true..
