Next Thursday is surgury

Jan 15, 2010

Hello all,
Well I go this Tuesday to get my labs done and I get surgury at the Beverly Hills surgury center.  I am very very nervous.  I have never had anything like this but at this point see nothing else to do.
I am a mother of 3 and have managed to keep putting on the weight.  I have binged dieted most of my life.  You name it I probably did it.  I did injestions, phen phen, my final try was Lindora and that worked and I lost about 20 lbs and then it came back on.  I have gotten to the point where it hurts to walk, I hardly exercise anymore and weighing close to 200 lbs when I should weigh 110-120 has really made my life miserable.  I cn not even wear my wedding ring anymore.
I hope and pray I have half the stength that all of you people do.  I would be so happy just to lose 40 lbs but know I really need to lose 80.  I hope once I lose some of this weight I will be able to at least take walks everyday and not be so out of breath climbing my stairs.  I hope I get my energy back.  I practically have no clothes yet that fit.  I am out of size 20 and 2x is getting tight so I can not go farther.  I have boxed clothing from when I was a size 16.

When I look back I see that I gained over 30 lbs since 2006.  Our family during the last couple of years has suffered 11 deaths.  I was told that just the stress in my life could have spun me out of control.  I took care of my mother in law last year as she died in our home.  It was 7 long months of sadness to see her die.  When she passed away I think that was the point for me that said I had to do something.  So a bigt step was doing this.  I finally am doing something for me.  I have my grown daughters-25,22,20 all supportive and willing to help.  I also have my husband and my dad.  My kids nanny still lives with us and she is my best friend.

I am going to do measurements on Wednesday and weigh in using my home scale.  In fact I think I am going to buy a new scale.  Something good.  I hope by May-I can where one of my dresses from my other daughter graduation which was 2 years ago.  Size 18 or 16.  If not then I will realize my goals may be unrealistic.
How do you know how fast the weight comes off.  Is 2 lbs a week a good basis?

Well take care for now and I will kep up my blog and try and fill it all in.  This alone may help.
