Day 3 Post op

Mar 30, 2012

Hello everyone! Here I am!  Im getting ready to leave the hospital this afternoon and am very excited.  I must say this has been extremely painful but sure worth it.  I think if I had known now in my younger days what was ahead of me I woulda tried harder to control my weight. I have two young daughters who already struggle with weight issues and I am going to give them the greatest gift I can.  I am going to teach them healthy new ways of eating that can be wonderful and rewarding.  Everything starting now is changing in my life and I am more excited than I have ever been. I cant wait to get home and start talking to them.  I dont want them to have to go thru this. I thank the lord above every day for giving me this gift and for standing by my side and giving me strength when I thought all was gone. I have loving friends in my life and am so blessed that they love me so much.  Im getting ready to start divorce procedings soon with my husband so yeah im going thru a whole lot of stuff.  I know that someday soon I will look back on all of this in amazement and wonder how the hell I did this  and I know the answer is thru Gods way is how i found the lighted path to my new life and world and the support of all my loved ones.

Day 2 pre-op

Feb 25, 2012

Well I have to say this I have been over the top excited about getting my surgery date.  I was like when I have surgery Im gonna do this and Im gonna do that and this is no big deal well guess what now here I am my surgery is March 28th so Im a month a and three days away.  AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! My anxiety is thru the roof!  Omg I feel so happy yet I feel so SCARED,   All these thoughts are running through my brain.  How much pain am I going to be in,  How long will It take me to heal,  Im active and dont like sitting down unless I have to so I always wanna heal faster.  I dont like depending on people but I know thats a must.  Im so glad I have a counselor appointment on Monday because I know I sound like a complete nut.   Id give anything to just be anxiety free and the depression gone.  Some people say mind over matter but us who struggle with weight know differently.  So many aspects of my life are going to change.  I know it will be for the better and have never looked forward to anything more than this.  Take that back the birth of my babies.  I have a tremendous amount of will power and support.  My main support buddy Jodisue40 is a wonderful woman.  I call her coach behind her back.  lol  .  Our friendship started oddly  and most people kinda shake their heads in disbelief but she is my current husbands ex wife.  I am the step mom to her babies.  Its been an honor thru the good times and the bad.  So as I go thru this journey I am blessed to have her by my side.  Jodi is also going to be soon scheduled for bypass to as I am her support woman.  I will be there for her everystep of the way.  I also invite anyone who needs a support person to join my friends list.  All are welcome.
