Surgery In 5 Days And Haven't Told Anyone.....



Recommended Posts

Monday 19th is banding day for me!...Everyone doesn't know and if I haven't told them by now; they will never know... I do agree you have to be selective... No negative behavior...that is how most of us became bigger than life in a shoe box

We all are Superstars!*

That's me too... I have no reason to tell anyone really.my kids and my wonderful boyfriend. I am not a person who tells any of my other life business too so why would I share this.. I never give anyone the chance to hate on my life in any way possible. I see it at work all day long. A worker just sharing her thoughts to a fellow co worker and they spread some thing so little around the place like a high school. Terrible. Just terrible. Well not me.

I had a real hard time deciding what to do. I am an open book and telling half-truths don't work very well for me. I don't work (for money anyway) but i belong to a homeschool co-op with 40 other moms. It was a kind of allor nothing choice. I hardly ever miss classes so me planning to miss a day was a big red flag that something was going on. Plus I have lost like 20 pounds in the last 3 weeks and people are noticing.. So I decided to be all in. My closest friends I told up front, the otherswill probably fine out through the grapevine, but I know most (if not all) will be supportive.

I hope i can be an example for others that need to take control again. Whether it be throught diet and exercise or by surgucal intervention..(or combination of the two) ...whatever is needed... so many of my friends are in worse shape than me.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
