It's really amazing what your body can adapt to.
Yesterday I was feeling all out of sorts. I just couldn't keep still.
I cleaned out the laundry and mud room.
I baked.
I shopped.
I googled.
I cleaned some more.
I researched.
I just don't know what to do with myself. I think I was feeling a little anxious and nervous.
It's the anxiety associated with the unknown.
I brought myself to tears yesterday looking at people before and after photos.
I just kept looking at page after page of people looking magnificent on their weight loss journey and I just can't believe that, that will be me too.
It's hard to image a life not being overweight. I've had to live with it for as long as I can remember. I never really saw myself - my future self thin.
I knew my subconscious was a 6ft tall super model with legs to her neck, but....... I just had to find a way together her out. I just can't believe this will be my answer.
Everyone I have spoken to who have had the surgery all wish they had done it earlier and none had regrets.
No regrets..... So here's to August 6th 2013... My beginning
Hi, Luisa--just stopping by to chime in with good wishes for your surgery! I found you from http://metabolicallyefficient.blogspot.com/ I didn't have the same surgery as you are getting (I had gastric bypass), but I've lost 128 pounds and feel so much better. I know you will, too. I enjoyed reading your creative food experiments! That will see you well in the diet phases you'll have to do post-op! If you want to read my story, stop by my blog at http://supersnailspace.blogspot.com/ Take care, Karen
ReplyDeletewhoo hooo -- I too wish I had done this surgery earlier...I was just shy of 44 (spent my 44th birthday drinking shakes :D) and if only I had done this years before -- but I and you still have so much living to do yet so be happy you're doing it now, it's such a GREAT thing you are doing for yourself!
ReplyDeleteAnd when you're recovering from the surgery itself, keep reminding yourself of that :D
How exciting!! I look forward to following your journey. :-)
