One more week...
Apr 12, 2010
So just one more week. I found out that my doc had personal issues beyond her control and that is why my appoinment got cancelled. Yup I feel like a jackass for being upset. I sometimes forget that other people have lives and that the world does not revolve around this fat girl. So Monday is the day my appointment was rescheduled so again I am excited because it's less then a week away. I am also happy that my WLS friend Amy came through her surgery with flying stars...like I said down hill from here chica! As for me I am just taking it as it comes one day at a time. I have a crazy addiction to youtube.com 
these days and watching others weight loss journey. My faves are bandedwendy and skymoon1982. So anyway I will let everyone know what happens next week!

1. Being able to give myself a pedicure without it being a major evolution
2. Shaving my legs and knowing I didn't miss spots cause I can't see over my belly and/or bend down and twist far enough to get the back of my thighs
3. Not having my legs be a resting place for my stomach when I sit down
4. Being able to use a public restroom and not wait for the bigger stall
5. Being able to shop where ever I want
6. Having smaller arms then the average sized man, namely my husband
7. Being smaller then my husband not just shorter
8. Being able to find cute panties and bras in my size
9. Feel comfortable goin to the beach
10. Being able to run for more then 5 minutes with out feeling like I am going to die
11. Taking a walk/run/walking up stairs without my knees being in pain
12. Being able to keep up with my kids!!!
13. Being able to wear my wedding ring...
the list goes on and on...

waiting for this week to pass by just to have to wait two additional weeks....Oh well as if the week was going good anyway. I guess I just have to pick myself back up and remember this is all a waiting game.

Keeping an open mind...
Mar 21, 2010
So after reading all these stories on here I am going to keep an open mind for my decision appointment and if my doc says she recomends the RNY I will not be so scared. I have to remember why I am doing this in the first place, to get healthy and that I have really screwed my body up in allowing myslef to get to this point. I want to love me and not feel like I want to unzip my own skin and crawl out of the fat suit...

Waiting waiting waiting
Mar 19, 2010
So I have completed everything I needed to do and am now waiting to see my surgeon to get the final go ahead and date. I really don't know what to expect at my next appointment and I am kinda a worrier by nature so I wish I knew what was gonna happen. I am an over thinker so I am trying to not do that. My appointment is April 5th so the waiting is driving me nuts! Anyway that's all I have for now!
