Almost there

Dec 02, 2013

This has been a whirlwind. On July 1, I started on my journey to a new me. I just had my last 6-month medical weight loss appointment, tomorrow I meet with the surgeon, the 10th I have a preop class, and assuming everything goes according to the timeline, on December 23rd I will be going in to have RNY.

Nervous is not even close to adequate. There are risks involved, especially with someone my size. I'm scared that it "won't work" or that I won't lose much weight. I'm scared that I might not wake up from surgery. But above all those fears is a shining beacon, telling me that I've made it this far, and this leg of the journey is so close to being over that it'd be a shame to stop now. I could be 50+ pounds lighter by my birthday. By next Christmas, I could be over 100lbs lighter. I can't even imagine, though it's only been the last ~6 years that I have been this size. I can't even begin to imagine being just obese, or just overweight.

This part of the journey is nearly over, but I have a whole new journey waiting for me on the losers' bench. Make room for me!
