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.
