Amazing
I think all the time - I had surgery just a short 3 weeks ago. I actually chose to have a band wrapped around my upper stomach giving me a small pouch that will make me eat less or I will get sick. I will have a few more incisions in my stomach, but I am not a bathing beauty to start with, so short tops and 2-piece bathing suits have been out for years. And by doing this, my entire life is going to change. I paid over $13,000 for this surgery out of my own pocket, after saving several years. I actually took this money away from my family - perhaps a special vacation or new car? After so many diets and dumb programs, is this actually going to work?
Heck Yes It Is!!!! My life has already started to change.
First of all, I am losing weight. I have always been able to lose about 25lbs and then it was over. No matter what I did, I couldn't lose more than 25lbs. I am at about 17lbs right now. I have no doubt that I will break through that 25lbs within the next weeks to come. You bet I will report it here.
Secondly, my medications have been cut down. I am actually sleeping better. I have much more energy and am walking with some pep in my step.
Thirdly, I have met so many wonderful people on this site. I wish each and every one of you lived in South Florida - I want hugs!
I will keep reporting my progress and I love reading about all of yours. I try to respond to as many blogs as I can because there is nothing like finding messages in reply to a blog I wrote, so I would imagine you like getting responses to.
I will be taking pictures this weekend, and will try to post them. I see the difference already and am loving it.
Good luck to you all - I love our friendship.
