The Journey Begins

Apr 18, 2014

Hello readers,

I began the journey to have the WLS (RNY) when I went to see my doctor in August of 2013.  I went to the info session in February, met surgeon Dr. Starr in March, and have recently seen the internist Dr. Glazer, who gave me a green light.  My only 'issue' was my vitamin D... so got to top that up. That's fine and doable.  

Retrospectively, I know HOW I got here and know the challenges I have had getting back to who I was 20 years ago.  While I don't expect to be in my 20's again, I would like to find SOME of the person I once was.  I loved being active and fit, now it's just a chore.  But am making strides to change this.  

In January I weighed 326 lbs... just before I had an ablation surgery done.  In February, I gave up caffeine and pop 100%, started training my body for the new diet, and began increasing my activity level.   I know I have lost some... but not exactly sure how much. My bathroom scale sucks... but I know it's going down. I know it mostly in my clothing (especially the underwear.. got to keep pulling them up) and people have noticed it ... so I am happy for that.  Just got to keep going.  

Today I am going to my first WLS meeting and can't wait to see what's next.

That's it for now... thank you for pausing at my Journey blog.

Kim. :D
