Just re-read my old blogs. What a journey!
Jan 18, 2011
I just spent a few hours re-reading my old blogs and sort of reliving all those feelings I had.The excitement I experienced as I was preparing for surgery.
The uncontrollable glee and astonishment I felt when I got the call that I was approved.
The unimaginable sadness when my surgeon passed away.
Remembering the painful/uncomfortable recovery and complete terror every time I introduced something new into my diet.
How miserable I was with head hunger when I went camping, or out and about to public places, or on vacation, etc. And regretted my surgery for a good 6 weeks.
How each and every blog I wrote slowly got better. Happier. More thankful.
God, I am SO lucky. Lucky that as of now 5.5 months out to be 100% complication free.
Luck to have successfully lost close to 80 or so pounds since surgery.
Lucky to have such a supportive boyfriend who not only loves me with all my flaws and imperfections, but he admires them and everything I have done and everything I do now, and will forever continue to do to be healthy.
I will be the first one to say that I am in no way a perfect WLS person. Not by any stretch of the imagination. I struggle everyday to make good eating choices. Some days are better than others. But, I will NEVER stop trying to be better than yesterday.
So Thankful for my OH fam,
-K
