So thankful for WLS
Jul 09, 2010
I am so thankful for the opportunity to have weight loss surgery. It has really changed my life. At first I sat around and waited while the weight was slowly coming off. Then I started to get more energy and I wanted to start my new life. So... I started walking. I was so afraid to walk around the lake. It was 2.7 miles, what if I couldn't make it around the whole lake. I kept putting it off and putting it off and then one day I did it. I almost was in tears at the end of the walk, because I, Julie Varnam, walked around the lake with no problems. I didn't even have to stop! Sure I was sweating and breathing heavy.... but that is what exercising is all about! It felt so good and so empowering. Now the weight is falling off! I am down 2 pants sizes and I feel so good. I have even started incorporating a little running while I walk around the lake. I am so proud of myself.
This surgery has helped me become the woman I have always wanted to be. I see running in my future. I see things that I want to do now, that before I never thought twice about. (Like taking my girls in a canoe, running, rock climbing, biking, etc...)
I thank God for this surgery! It has changed my life! <3

Surgery Date
Apr 19, 2010
My surgery date is set for May 3rd, 2010. I am so excited about my new life ahead of me. There are so many changes going on in my life this year it is crazy. The most important change is that my husband and I are reconciling after 3 1/2 years of being separated.
I have four amazing children. Avery (21), Ashley (17), Tabitha (17) and my peanut Sabrina (5). I love my life, but know that I will love it even more when I am not so lazy and tired all the time. I can't wait to have more energy!!!!
I am on a lot of meds right now. I have diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, hypertension, and anxiety. Yuck! I want to get most of this under control and off as many meds as I can with this surgery.
I was already going through the weight loss surgery process before Steve and I started on our journey back together. I am looking forward to being healthy so we can have a good life together... a good sex life together. My weight is such a hinderance on our sex life. He swears up and down that it isn't a problem, but I don't believe him. I am so insecure about my body I hate it. Anyway, losing weight, and feeling better about myself is going to help me in every area of my life!!!!
Here's to my journey!!!!!
