So I'm a lil over 2 weeks out and life couldn't be better! I am very happy that I had this surgery and I can't wait to see what direction life will take me in now. I can't wait to join a gym and go back to school! Everyone has been really supportive (except for the few haters at work) but whatever.. everyone loves to tell their story about their neighbor's, cousin's, brother's, dog's, babysitter's, mom's, friend, that had a friend, whose friend had the surgery and this and that happend to them and blah blah.. well SAVE IT!! I did PLENTY of research before I even started this whole process and I KNOW what I've gotten myself into.. a happy healthy new me! So don't let ANYONE discourage you with their ridiculous stories! Some people just don't really know anything about this and they try to act like they do... womp womp.. I'm over it! Alright well I'm off to have one ounce of a scrambled egg..  I'm sure I will be writing again soon..

Ok so I have the dr.'s appt. tomorrow (you know the one where he's suppossed to give me a referral to the surgeon).  I am freaking out...I can't believe that this is happening and I just won't believe any of it until I see an actual surgery date!  I feel like the time is going fast and slow at the same time..I haven't seen the dr. since Nov.15th.. and I've lost 11.5lbs in a month.. then gained almost 7lbs back.. and I lost the rest and now I'm offically 13 or 14lbs down from the original.. So CLEARLY he will see that I tried really hard..over the last 2 months and I struggled.. and that this is a constant life-long battle.. and I need help

So I went to the dr's and he told me that I was definately a candidate for WLS.  He told me to come back in a month and have lost 10lbs... Today was my (month later) appt.... I ended up losing 11.5 lbs! YAY.. lol 

Also... he told me to make an appt. with the psychologist (b/c I would have to eventually for the EVAL.) So I did and she basically told me that I would be a wonderful candidate for surgery and that she could only see me benefitting from it!.. I thought I was going to pass out.. I'm soo excited that they want to help me :) but better yet.. that I'm finally trying to help myself... lol 

So I go back in another month.. I'm going to try to maintain the weight and possibly lose another 5lbs.. When I go back the dr's guna schedule me for a consultation with the surgeon :) S0o0o we'll see what happens from there.. sighh I'm soo relieved that today went well.. I can't wait to go back in a month :)
