Ready for a change
Feb 03, 2009
Well I started my journey in late November. I finally decided I had to have WLS and regain my life. Hiding inside my house and sitting in a chair all day was not the answer. I felt as if I was just sitting here waiting to die. I am too young for that. I have my first beautiful grandson and I want to be able to do things with him. I met with Dr. Mehta and I really felt comfortable with him. I was put on a high protein, low carb diet and wow the first two weeks of that was absolutely horrible. I was sick and had terrible headaches and cravings for carbs but I stayed determined. It seemed a small price to pay to get my life back. Christmas week was the worst!! I fell a few times but got right back on track after the holiday. As of mid January I was down 16 pounds and very proud of myself. One small step in the right direction. I joined the YMCA and started taking water aerobics classes three times a week. I do find myself very tired affer each class and generally end up napping somewhere mid day on those days. I am sure I will adjust soon. I am basically going from a non active life to working out 3 hours a week. I am starting to notice my clothes drooping a bit and I can't wait until weigh in day, February 19, 2009. I have a feeling I did good this month. I have a six month wait for my surgery and have to get to a BMI of 60. That means I needed to lose 68 pounds from my original weight of 418.
