Well ladies and gents it has been a crazy three months. Talk about riding a freakin roller coaster. But I absolutely LOVE my tool.  As of today, I am down 50lbs and 3lbs away from Onederland    . I am eating better now and I have sooo much more energy. I even went camping with my husband on my birthday a few weeks ago for the first time. I fell in love with camping. Who knew? I certainly didn't 50lbs ago. There would have been no way I would've even tried. It's crazy what a difference 3 months makes. For any of you who are on the fence about having WLS it is definitely a lot of work but so worth it. I will try and post updated pics in the next few days.

I went to my one week post op appt  today and I weighed in. I lost 16 lbs with my new tool! I am so excited. I think I am more excited to graduate to eggs and fat free refried beans though. lol

Yay it feels sooooo goood to be home. I am still in some pain but it's not that much. I am drinking broth and eating jello. I never used to like jello but I am seem to love it now. weird? I am still having trouble getting in all my water but that's my next goal. I haven't gotten any where near a scale don't plan to until my next doctors appt which will be next week. But I feel like I have a second chance at life. This time I am living it to the fullest.

Well today is thursday and I will be having surgery on Monday. I am being flooded with emotions right now everything from pure excitement right down to the holy crap feeling. I have been reading post like crazy the good, the bad, and the sometimes ugly lol... But I am still ok with my decision. In a way I have kind of grown through this whole experience. What I mean is I am able to finally accept myself for me. I guess it all kinda finally caught up to me. I know I am not in place that I want to be health and image wise and I want and am ready to fight to get there. This body that I am in and the state that is in is not me at all. So now that I have realized it I can't wait to fix it. See ya'll on the losers bench.

I finally got the green light to schedule surgery. I am so excited to share this journey with all of you. I am jumping up and down on cloud 9. The count down begins. I can't wait to be on the loser's bench.  I have been going through my closet and can't wait to fit into some of the clothes that I loved. I am going to once again enjoy getting all dolled up and not have to worry about is it going to hide certain areas.

Well hopefully I will have my last visit with my nutritionist on April 21st  . After that they will submit my paperwork to Aetna for approval so hopefully i will get approved on the first try. I am so ready to begin this new journey. I have been reading the message boards a lot on OH and I feel very comfortable with the decision I have made. I know this is in NO WAY going to be easy but the rewards are well worth it. I can't wait to be able to go to the mall and walk into ANY store without having to worry about if it will fit or will they have my size.  I am excited, scared, nervous, and anxious to begin my new life

Ok I have made the decision that this is the right step to take. The step I need to live a healthy life for my mind, body, and soul. I know this is a journey, like many others I have taken, will mold me into a stronger more vibrant person than I am now. I can't wait till I am able to run with my kids in the park. I can't wait until I don't feel tired or hurt anymore because I can't stand for to long. I am ready, ready for the girl I once knew to catch up to  the woman I have become.
