Apr 21, 2010

Just home from Florida...we went down there with a friend of mine...Dean and I had the most romantic time....
we walked on the beach at night holding hands and he wrote our names in the sand in a heart! so sweet.
my weight still hangs out around 200 although I did manage to put on 5lbs while away.  I'm very satisfied with my WLS results. my skin is another thing. it is most inconvenient while sleeping...I dint lay flat. I have to adjust the skin before falling asleep and ohh my if I move around in my sleep...BAAD back aches in the am. but it works itself out while taking care of the pups. ....

I am almost 3 yrs out...I do NOT regret my WLS...it not only saved my life I got a 2nd chance at living....if you read this and are trying to decide if surgery is for you.....
WLS is LIFE altering
you will NOT be able to eat all the things you used to and NOT as much as you did...this is a GOOD thing.
You WILL have "buyers remorse" but the benefits of living over existing....well only you can be the judge of that.
you will hear ALL the "stories" they can be scary...bad things can happen....BUT as an obese person cant bad things happen quickly ?...I for one was SOOO scared of having to be cut out of my house if I ever fell or passed out when I weighed  over 500lbs....I think that most of all motivated me to start looking for a surgeon...I knew it was only a matter of time and something bad was going to happen to me...
I was dying.
When I cant eat the food I crave for whatever reason....grease and sugar can make me feel SICK.....I am HAPPY...because after a few times of really being sick...those items of food no longer interest me...at ALL. I finally have some power over things I should NOT eat!  Lets face it if I would have had the power to say no without surgery I wouldnt have weighed over 500lbs.
 WLS is NOT an easy way out of dieting...it is the ultimate diet always working for you in your favor if you use it correctly.
Understand your proceedure and what it will mean to the rest of your life when making your choice....
Good luck to all making the hardest choice...to live or to LIVE!
