Update

Has been so long since I have been on here so first I want to say sorry for my delay in updating, but as a very wise 9 year old told me "life gets in the way of living"! Tomorrow will be 18 months since I had my band done. My life has totally changed, not just with the drastic weight loss but in all corners of my life. I lost 110 lbs and I am struggling with my last 10 pounds. I am doing so much now, most of it is only stuff I dreamed I would do since I knew that physically with the weight

update

Ok had my surgery June 10th and all is well, down 15 pounds and I go next friday to the dr for my 3 week follow up. I should be moving to mushies on July 1. So far today was the first day I can say I was hungry and I wanted lettuce and a hard boiled egg. Strange I know   Walking 5 days a week either at the gym or the mall and that helps with the gas and poops.       I will update after Dr appointment     Peace

My thoughts on Waiting

Why are we always waiting? We wait for aproval, we wait for the scale to move,we wait for everything and then when it finally gets here we question it. Guess I'm just tired of waiting but then again I have come to realize there is our time and Gods time and sometimes they are a world apart.   Peace

The date is set!!!!

Well I got the call today and my surgery is June 13th. My husband still is not on board with this but I am determined I will do this for me. I am tired of hearing I love you just the way you are, it's about my health, why can't he get that thru his head. The Dr. told me today that I am boarder line diabetic and you would think that he would understand since he is diabetic, but I guess not. I will forge forward and continue this journey no matter what!!!   On a positive note I made the Dean

I have everything done I just need my last 2 dr appointments I have one scheduled may 5 and june 2, and then everything gets submitted after that. They said they can schedule the surg

Putting it all in perspective

Found out that a friend has cancer and its terminal so sad. Thinking about all of this just makes me want to get my surgery even more. This makes me so sure that I want to change my life and enjoy the second half as a healthy person. If your reading this and your on the fence about the surgery, all I can say is look back at the life that you have lived so far and be honest with yourself. What have you missed because of your weight? Food might have ruled my life in the past but I am determi

Not just about WLS

So this afternoon my husband and I took the dogs to the park and walked once around the lake. I thought I was going to die! I had foot surgery and could only wear flip flops (cyst removed on top of the foot) so I really didn't have any support, but it wasn't even the foot it was feeling like I was draging a dead body around that dam lake. That just cemented my decision to go ahead with the WLS. In case anyone is wondering about the title of my blog, I lived the first half of my life and now
