My Decision To Have WLS

I did not come blindly to my decision to have WLS. I looked into it for many years, and very seriously for a year prior to having RNY. 

 

I am very independent. I do not wait for others to hold my hand. I get all the resources I feel I will need when making a major decision. I make my choices with solid understanding under my belt. I develop a mental plan of direction and write down my course of action. 

 

I prepare myself for the challenge ahead knowing I may run into some roadblocks along the way. I create a way out to overcome whatever obstacles I may encounter. If I find I need more resources, or I need to gain more knowledge, I actively seek it. 

 

I do not make excuses. I know what I want and where I am going. I do not cry over a mis-step. I do not get others to join me in a pity party.

 

I am accountable to myself and to God in upholding the integrity that I possess to be successful. I am thankful to the Lord for His provision, grace and mercy. I do not apologize to anyone for my beliefs. It is your decision in how you handle your life.

 

I remain positive, purposeful and upbeat. I hold myself to a higher standard. I do not care about what everyone else is doing. I have come to know myself and have addressed those secret places in my life we all tend to avoid. 

 

I hope and pray for all others to be successful in this journey! Peace to all, Cyndi

Cyndi,
I feel the same way and since I've had surgery, I honestly pray for all  pre op and post op.   There is much negativity in our world so I claim the power to choose how I think and the things that I will think about or fill my mind with.  I choose to be positive.

Banded  Oct 2008:  290       
RNY Feb 2012:        245    
Dr's set goal:            170 reached Oct 11, 2012

Today :                       145-150

I am half the person I was in 2008.
