Well its day 3 I won't say its been easy but it hasn't been all that bad either. But all this down time has had me thinking. The first thing that has struck me on this journey is how many of us say things like "we have done this to us" or use the word "elective" I don't know about that to me there was nothing elective about this. High B/P, high cholesterol and a borderline ekg are all warning signs that my weight is killing me. If a doctor told me oh you have this tumor it could kill you in 10-20 years and will cause you health issues What do you want to do about it?" What do I need the roof to fall on my head? I have tried and I exercise but it isn't working so now it is time to do something before it is too late. I may be a bit miserable today but tomorrow I will feel a little better and the next day even better. And in a few weeks I will feel normal. Someone commented on my blog that we are brave for doing this , Katy is right we are!

I have the same thoughts as you, God knows that we didn't do this to ourselves and that we were brave enough to make the desicion to go ahead and have surgery. I'm one month out tommorrow and even though I haven't lost much in the last 2 weeks, I'm very happy to have gone ahead with this. Even if it takes me a year to get to my goal I will be happy. And it's true you will feel normal soon enough, I just had a turkey rasher, half a scrambled egg and half a cooked tomato for breakfast and am full with that! I can't believe, in the past I was able to eat 3 times that amount, plus coffee and toast! Good luck to you.

i totally agree with your blog. I am a nurse and I feel like people are looking at me thinking....Hmmmm... I don't really want to take health advise from her. I'm not sure why we do this to ourselves? I get my sleeve in 5 days and I am getting a little nervous. Keep blogging, I really enjoy the updates.
