Kind of Down :o(

Well, I'm suppose to be having my Panniculectomy surgery today but the dumb ass nurse told me it was approved but come to find out they didn't even file all of the paperwork. I'm somewhat upset because I wanted to go ahead and get this done before the year's end so I wouldn't have to use all my days up next year. Anywho, I'm thinking "What is it Lord?" There must be something because they called me in the 9th hour and gave me the bad news. I really was looking forward to getting this extra skin removed...Oh, well guess I have to hit the abs even harder until further notice.I've been thinking...self image is a Mutha****. I mean with as much weight that I've lost somewhere in the back of my mind I still feel as if I'm 350lbs. then some. This WLS journey takes alot of planing and effort, especially once you're beyond the "honeymoon'" phase. I mean, you have to literally take into consideration every morsel that you put in your mouth. People always kid with me on how I eat and tell me that I've lost enough weight...I tell them to 'kick rocks' because if you've never been 350 + then I don't wanna hear it. A person has to get in their mind before they have this surgery that the guidelines they give will be a way of life; not to get down to a certain size or number on the scale. My heart goes out to those that truly don't get it. It hurts me to read some post or blogs of newbies when they say...well I had to test to see if I dump, or I had a little of this or that to just see. Now that's dangerous territory and setting oneself up for partial failure going down that road. I just want to help pre-ops and newbies get right from the get go. I made some mistakes early on too. I just want those just starting to learn from the mistakes of others because the opportunity to have this surgery is a blessing within itself. However years down the road you don't want to be looking back wondering what you did wrong. My prayer is that this has reached and helped someone just starting out...Best of luck in you're journey! Be Blessed!
