Before After

On My Way

I have started my journey towards weight loss surgery.  I know even with my dieting alone I'm never going to get where I'd like to be.

No.  I do not have unreal goals for myself.  I'd like to even get down to 160ish.  For some people that isn't a "low point" but for me when I started this at 340 it's quite a drop!

I went to my "class" which was their information session.  To see if we were scared out of taking this big step.  I'm not.  I also made sure to ask my morbid question about how many people he has had die from surgery.  Only 3 or 4 in YEARS!!  Why did I ask a morbid question like that?  I just lost a friend the week before during labor at the age of 24.  Not something that is suppose to happen to a vibrant young beautiful and healthy woman.

I go back on Thursday of this week to talk to the doctor by myself.  Hopefully by the time I walk would I will have my appointments with the dietian and the phsyc eval that I need set up.

I'm so ready to get this show on the road - I need to do this!  If not for myself and my own health reasons I need to do this for the kids.  I hate being the fat mom that doesn't want to do anything.  The fat mom that can't walk to the end of the driveway without being winded.  The fat mom that can't do aynthing that they want.  The fat mom that can't go on rides at the fair or even try for fear of what people will say.

Congrats!

I'm glad that the wheels towards your surgery are definitely in motion. This blog reminded me so much of the letter I wrote to family and friends about why I wanted to have the surgery. I still have it to remind me of how far I've come. This is for your health and you are never going to regret having this surgery at all. You are in my thoughts and prayers, hon.
