some of my reasons for having VSG.
Apr 28, 2013
Well tomorrow is my surgery..... feeling a little apprehensive. I know these past two weeks on the opti fast i have been doing very well and feeling great. i lost about 14 lbs and can definitely see it in my face. But I also know that if I dont' have this surgery that I will easily fall back into unhealthy eating habits eventually.
The reasons I am doing this are:
I want to be healthy and live a healthy life.
I want to be able to be active with my family, especially my husband, who is very physically active.
i want to not only feel good about myself, but look good when I'm putting on clothes to go out.
I want to be able to cross my legs, bend over an tie my shoes. Walk up a flight of stairs without losing my breath.
I want to look at myself in pictures and not say "who is that"?
I want to feel proud of my accomplishments.
I don't want to grow old and wake up one day 300 lbs and not be able to shower myself or have my children carry me up the stairs, out to the car, or just be a burden on them or my husband. As this is what I see with my own mom and mother in law. As I have watched the people in my family grow older I see the ones that are average weight and more physically fit, are the ones who bounce back quicker form health issues and are really more independent then others.
I don't want to feel sad, ugly and just plain FAT!
I want to spend the next part of my life, enjoying my life and not be afraid to venture out of my comfort zones.
I am facing this part of my life as a new journey. An adventure I have put ion hold as I have raised two beautifully children these past 19 years and nurtured my family and friends. I have built a wonderful life with my husband and now is the time to enjoy my life and to be the Best me I can be.
