ALMOST 8 MONTHS OUT.........
DRUM ROLL PLEASE..........
100 POUNDS........GONE !
My mind hasn't caught up with my body yet, but 100 pounds gone ! Wow! I was at a point that I thought
I would never be able to say that I made the right decision by having surgery.............I'm happy to say I can now say that with out hesitation. This was the right choice & best decision I could have made. I am now on the side that I envied, what a great place to be.
Arriving to the "other side"
Sep 19, 2008
September 19th 2008. I am 4 months & 2weeks out !
I am feeling pretty good. Enjoying "awesome" moments.
Such as..........being able to cross my legs....I just love that, I do it so much that my foot falls asleep. LOL!
I got on a Doctor's scale & didnt have to push the "block" up to 200 for the 1st time in many years. That was a moment.
People are calling me "skinny", which I know I am not, but compared to where I use to be.......skinny sounds nice.
I will try & get some pics on here. I do not have a digital camera., but I will try. It is an amazing journey. I'm so glad the "hurt" part has passed, this part is great. I'm just nervous about the pain coming back, but I believe I am getting past the "regret" I had been feeling during those rough months.
Goodness.....I almost forgot........I am down "75" pounds ! !
Plz drop a line........I would love to hear from those who truly understand.
FINALLY>>>>AN UPDATE

Three more days !!!!!!!

I haven't been on in awhile and I was needing some motivation, so I jumped on the site and had messages to my surprise. Thanks.... I sure needed those messages. I feel better already. Today was my last day at work and I over heard some women talking about someone who had surgery & they were being very negative.......I couldn't believe my ears & why of all days they were talking about this...............but I just told myself that it is just a reminder that there will be negative comments, but that is okay because I am doing this for ME.....not them. I can't wait to be on the other side, the whole surgery thing makes me nervous. I have prayed for peace and happy thoughts. So my goal the next few days will to be stick to my clear liquid diet and to think happy thoughts.
My journey
