My Latest Journey ..

Man ... it took me forever to find my freaking blog!!! I promised myself that I would be transparent about this latest thing in my life and decided to use the blog to process my thoughts and feelings. Now that I've finally found it, I can put my money where my mouth is. 😊 I've decided to go for a Gastric Bypass ... *crickets* ... I'm doing this for health reasons. My starting weight was 256lbs and of course I'm considered to be morbidly obese in addition to all of the illnesses, medications .. blah, blah, blah. My surgery will be done in January of 2020 and I'm excited, nervous and a teensy bit scared. Of course I don't know what to do as it relates to my clothes ... getting rid of or purchasing. My surgeon is very well respected and his patients have had great success. I've started attending support meetings and even joined a private Facebook group. My intentions are to do this and do it well. I'm also trying encourage and motivate hubby to get back on track with his healthier lifestyle. He initially did so well with his weightloss, but he didn't follow through with his postoperative plan. I mean ... there's no way I could go through that surgery only to turn around and gain all of the weight back?!? I did clear out the cupboards and fridge of any unnecessary foods/snacks and have been stocking more fruits, frozen vegetables and Premier shakes. It's going to be weird not eating food in the beginning, but hubby is going to be my motivator and this will help to motivate him.😉 My hope is that this blog will help me to work through any issues, give me an outlet and hold me accountable. WELP ... my pills are finally kicking in and that's my cue to sign off. I'll check back in before the weekend!🤗😍🌹🦋
