Silly me!
Feb 15, 2009
Okay, silly me I suppose! I don't feel so silly when I am going through it but when I think about it later, I think "Heather, you are so silly. What a DRAMA QUEEN!!" ha ha. So after 2 weeks, I go back to the doctors office to weigh myself while I pick up my vitamins and protein mixes. To my surprise I had only lost 3 lbs. Now I had already lost 100 lbs so why should this 3 lbs be such a big deal. If you know the answer, please share it with me. I am just so hard on myself I suppose. I work out, use weights, walk 3 miles a day and 3 lbs is all I have to show for it. I guess it is one of the mind games that have started with me. Disappointed to see such a small loss. I should look at it as it is a loss and not a gain, right? But my wacko mind won't do that...lol. I still don't see myself as "thinner", can't say thin. I still have a ways to go until I am at goal....or atleast the doctors goal. I have a great support system in my husband and my daughter. My parents are supportive but I do feel that my mother is jealous. She wants to be thinner as well and although she wishes great things for me, she is jealous that I am doing it. I received my "Century Pin" at Saturday's Bariatrics meeting. I was so happy to get it. I almost cried. I want to say so much to my doctor. How do you tell someone who gave you life again how much they mean to you? How do you tell them that you are able to shave your legs now in one session instead of multiple, and not be out of breath? How do you tell them that you don't look at food the same way and that it is actually a good thing? How do you tell them that you can sit in any chair now and not have to worry? How do you tell them that you can FINALLY cross your legs, put on your shoes, jog, walk, do sit ups, jumping jacks and so on? When I think of all the things that in only 5 months that Dr Warnock has given to me.....I just want to hug him! I can't thank him enough. He is so modest....this man will have a special place in Heaven that is for sure. I have a love for him. He gave me life all over again. How do you thank someone for that. I suppose the way to show him how much it means to me is to just keep doing what I am doing. Lose the weight, keep it off and have a happier life that doesn't revolve around food. I should live life to the fullest. I truly appreciate Dr Warnock for all he has done for not only me, for my family and my friends. They now have a new and improved Heather to enjoy. I hope that anyone having this surgery has a similar experience. I am truly blessed!!!
