So much has changed for me since I had WLS. I can run and play with my son, enjoy time with my husband, buy clothes, have more energy and more confidence. I started this journey with a lot of hopes and dreams, since WLS I feel like I may just make all of my dreams come true.

I have made a life long friend from OH and can't imagine life with her. I look in the mirror and still see the old me and I am working on that. If I dont look in the mirror I feel the change just in the energy I have and the quality of life I can now live. I still wonder if I will ever be happy with my physical appearence, but only time will tell.

I will try to post more but a quick update as of today. I am now at 184 from 289 which for those of you that can't subtract that is a loss of 104 pounds. I am very happy with my success so far and look forward to lossing this last 50 pounds.

Well tomorrow is the day.  I am so ready!  I am staying at my in-laws tonight since they live closer to the hospital than we do.  I love my in-laws they are great and make me feel so comfortable at their house.  My husband is watching TV and my son is jumping around like a normal 5 year old.  I wonder if they are nervouse or worried about me, my husband would never show it, he would want to keep me as calm as possible, so if he is I will never know.  Well I better get back to getting ready.  I can not believe I will be on the loser bench so soon....I guess I am already there, since I started the liquid diet a week ago I have lost 12 lbs.  However, I ready for that weight when people can tell I have lost weight.

I am sitting here thinking about how far away it seems to my surgery.  My husband says I am closer to it than I was when I started think about it 2 years ago.  I am just so ready to be on the losing side.  I get out here and read about all these people taht have lost weight and I can not wait o be one of those people.  Well I am go to read the message board and continue to research the before and afters of this surgery.


Good night all.

Well I went to my second consult and scheduled my surgery and I am so excited, it is on May 28th.  Memorial Day so my husband is already scheduled to be off, because of the holiday.  He has also decided to take the week after my surgery off.  The closer the day gets the more excited I get.  I know that this is going to change my life forever and I am ready for change.  Is is a normal Saturday in our house, my son wants breakfast, husband trying to figure out what he is going to do today and me on the OH site looking for information.  I better go.....pray for me.  I am so happy but that does not excuse the fact that I am scared too.

XOXOXO........Roxy
