Me now..
Jul 12, 2008
Hi All,
I am a little over a month out from surgery now.. have lost 28 pounds and feeling better every day. I am a full time college student at the University of Maine and in the Nursing program there, I 'should' march accross the podium in May of 2011 and recieve my bachelors degree in nursing. Let's hope!! That is one of the major factors of me having this surgery- even though it was scary as hell and I changed my mind a hundred times up until a couple days before surgery- it was still the right decision and I don't regret it for a second. I think I had some help the last couple days from an angel or two, because the weirdest calm came over me and I knew, absolutely, without a doubt- that I would be fine.
But, the biggest factor would be myself. I hated myself and what I had let ME do to me. I had no quality of life, and being that much overweight, I knew there wouldn't be any quantity either. I didn't play with my son, didn't have the energy to do it. I felt horrible about that, and now I find myself, even after a loss of 28 lbs and much more to go, I already feel so much better!!
Wow, this feels great to put down in words.. thanks for listening, and I will post soon again..
God bless you all & may He keep you safe,
Chris
