Coming soon.. The New Ed !!!

Sep 25, 2010

Well..    Here is a start...       Its all coming together now...     Ive been really suprised at how fast this has been going..   This approach to Wieght Loss Surgery started about 3 months ago..  I was 295 lbs..  I asked my Doctor about the WLS and she was very supportive...     I was referred to a weight loss class and WLS overview.. I attended and then was contacted by the Bariatric Surgeons office..   I was scheduled very soon after for the WLS orientation and then a one on one with my Surgeon and Phsych Eval...    Glad to say that I was deemed very fit and competent for the surgery LOL...    I was tasked with losing 10% of my wieght as a gateway to preparing,.,        Well..      For the last 2 1/2 months..   Ive been good and have been maintaining a 1200 calorie a day diet....    Ive been practicing the disciplines of eating "mindfully"    chewing the heck outa my meals etc..  Ive even been taking an outrageous amount of vitamins LOL    All of which are what the doctor recommended.. and at the proper dosages..        Well..    Earlier this week I went in and weighed in and I was at 264 pounds..   I was actually in surplus of a pound of weight loss above what the surgeon required LOL        Soooo..    I contacted my surgeons office and gave them my update...   I was called the next day and offered a surgery date of October 13th...   I took it !!       So now, I am scheduled to go back to the surgeon on the 1st and start my pre-op appointments...      Im eager and yet nervous...     This will be a HUGE change..   But I remind myself that this will be better than staying HUGE me !!! LOL      I know a good deal of people now who have undergone the RNY surgery (What I will be having)  and all have told me that at first.. its miserable...   Had thoughts of WTH did they do to themselves...   Thoughts of regrets!!     But after about 2 months..  The tides turned and they started to see rewards..     Now they all tell me that the surgery was the best thing that ever happened to them !!     Well I am and always will be an optomist...       I am ready to take on the bad to receive the good..      I will do this!!
