today 1/24/09 11 days til surgery!

Jan 24, 2010

I have to say that since getting on this website I have found that I am more motivated and less nervous than I was say 48 hours ago! All the support and friendships that seem to be built on one common thing that we all share: The journey. Most of us have spent our whole loves being made fun of or ridiculed for our weight and now we finally are gonna get a chance at life in ways that we have never been able to see it before. 

          Now i won't have so much foot and ankle pain after an 8 hour shift behind the chair. My passion other than my baby boy is doing hair!! I love the creativity and social aspect of my job. Lately, that hasn't been the case. Due to my weight I have began to have severe foot, back and shoulder pain. It has affected my work and playing with my son. I know that after YEARS of dieting and YEARS of pills and binging and purging that I have a new tool that is going to help me finally regain my life.
         I have been overweight my whole life but after having my son I reached an all time high. I have spent the last year and a half on medication even doing a 5k to try and shed the weight and it's just a vicious cycle that I can't beat.
On February the 4Th I AM sure that I will be a nervous wreck when I go into that operating room just like I was the day that Drew was born but like the first surgery I had(my c-section) what I will gain out of it will by far out weigh the pain of surgery!
Happy thought to all you and thanks!
