The beginning

Feb 21, 2009

I started my WLS journey back in January when I first went to see my surgeon. I since then lost  9 pounds. Then went to my medifast appointment and back again for the second medifast appointment and found out I lost another 15 pounds. I go every monday to be weighed in and get more medifast. I am on 2 shakes a day and 2 lean and green meals a day. I couldn't afford to do the 4 shakes a day and one lean and green..or just 5 shakes a day..as my daughter is also doing the surgery the same day as myself. I will continue to update my blog each Monday or maybe before..if I'm needing to just vent about stuff.
I am excited, nervous and scared all at the same time, feelings I am sure everyone that's had or having the surgery has also had.
  I at times wonder is this all worth it? and I answer myself as quickly as I ask..YES IT IS! I want to be healthy. I want to live to see my 3 daughters grow up. I want to feel comfortable walking. (I love to walk) I want to go to the beach and swim and lay out and not feel uncomfortable. I want to go to a doctors office and FIT in the chair and not feel so out of place. I want to go on amusement rides with my daughters. I have NEVER done that. BUT I WILL! I want to go dancing.  I want to be thinner than my fiance. I want to buy clothes I LOVE not that I settled for.I have many many I wants...I know with this surgery I will lose alot of weight..but most of all I will gain my self esteem & my self worth.

Well, thanks for reading..I will post again tomorrow after my weigh in.
