Lost Opportunities (4 Weeks Post Op!!)
I CANNOT believe that it has been FOUR weeks since I have had surgery. The time has gone extremely quickly. I have been pretty busy so I'm guessing thats why it feels like such a short amount of time has passed.
Everything has been working out well with my band so far. The past week or so I have been noticing that I can eat things, a little bit too much of things. My first fill is scheduled for two days from now Wednesday February 3. I am a little bit nervous. Hopefully its not way too tight, but I do know its not going to be perfect for a while.
I'm going on a Service trip to Laredo, Texas and Nuevo Laredo, Mexico at the end of this month. I am VERY excited about this trip but also of course have a few concerns about eating of course. I'll have to speak with my trip advisor pretty soon since we are leaving soon. Which brings up another point Air Travel.
UGH I just hate that I have to worry about everything that a normal person does and on top of that I have to worry about being overweight in every single situation. I have to worry if I am going to fit into the plane seat which I know that I will not be comfortable at all. Then I have to worry about people looking at me disgusted on said plane because of my size and glad they are not sitting next to me.
Every experience that I come across, every opportunity that I am offered I have ever been offered I have always had to stop and think, "How will my weight be a factor in this experience? Will I be judged or will I be physically unable to do this?"
THIS is the reason that I decided that I needed to get banded. Of course there was all of the health reasons but when it came down to it I am sick of missing out on LIFE. Just sick of letting opportunities pass me by simply because of my weight. I just was not being fair to myself by continuing to live my life as a morbidly obese person.
I see now that I made the right choice in deciding to get banded. I did this completely for myself hope to have great success as I continue on this journey!
