  1. Fresh Start

    · soexcited28 · 11/08/2008 11:57

    So this is my first blog...I was so excited to have this surgery. I had waited 4 years to find an insurance company to approve it. Finally, they did!! Yeah! I surgery on October 7, 2008. The first two weeks were hard and I was in a lot of pain, but I had my husband and son to support me. Two weeks out I had lost 12 pounds. Then it kinda slowed down as I added things into my diet. I work two jobs so finding time to exercise has been a challenge. Well...last week on friday my husband decided that he didn't love me anymore and we split.:cursing: I was crushed (still am), but it gave me a new lease on life on top of the one I got from having the surgery. Since then I have lost 11 pounds. I'm taking it one day at a time and staying focused. If anyone has any advice I am open. It feels good to be able to talk about what is going on with others who understand.
    Back on topic..I haven't had a soda in 5 weeks. There was a time when I didn't go a day without one. I am amazed how much more I enjoy water now. I think that hardest part has been not to eat fast. With a busy life style I have had to slow way down. I want to lose 80 pounds before my 10 year high school reunion this coming summer. This is day one!!!:angry_smile:
