Hello smile.png Happy New Year!

 

I'm glad the holidays are over because now it is time to refocus and prepare for my Surgery. Friday is my Pre-Op appointment and I'm getting very nervous but at the same time excited and ready for this new chapter in my life. At our last support group meeting this great video was mentioned. I found it very helpful for some of my issues. Because one thing I have to remember about Weight Loss surgery is that this is a great tool to help you lose weight, but that is all it does: it doesn't fix everything. It won't fix any issues you have in your life, your head or in your marriage and it won't fix the reason you got that way to begin with > Something you need to face and work on and stuff like that. So I've discovered a few of my issues and found this to be a great video for me so I wanted to share it with you as well. So watch and enjoy: I hope you find it enlightening and helpful like I did.

Hey there Brene ...

I faced all those things you faced and I'm so darn glad I gutted it up and came out on the other side (Dec. 27 surgery). I had so many of your doubts and had friends and family working to derail me, including my husband. But I also realized that many of those people also sabotaged my previous weight loss efforts. At some point, you have to take charge of your own health and give everyone else the heave ho, so to speak.

See you on the other side!!!

I started a blog to chronicle my journey and you're welcome to visit: Takin' a Load Off.

I agree you have to take charge of your own life. I told my family that I was having the surgery. I did not ask for advise or want to know what anyone thought. I decided a long time ago that I need to do this for me. My only concern was my husband. He is afraid something bad could happen to me, however he is a man of strong faith and is supporting me 100%.
