You have to excuse me, I am not at my best...
Well, Tuesday was d-day. Got up at 5am and headed down to the big city. I have never said these numbers before, if I said them they became real. At my first appointment, I weighed in at 341 lbs. Which to me was incredible and discouraging. So when I weighed in on Tuesday morning, I am down to 297. All high numbers. After feeling embarrassed at first in front of the nurse, my feelings changed. I felt like I had made a small accomplishment. After really thinking about it, I made a huge accomplishment. Jeff reminded me that I need to not make light of little steps/accomplishment, that I should be excited for them! He is completely right. I met with my surgeon, wearing the flatter hospital gown, went into the OR to have a conversation about the death of Micheal Jackson while they were putting out with Propenal! LOL!!! After I woke up, I can't lie, I felt like crap! I have been sore, but every day gets better. Came home Thursday. My family has waited on me hand and foot! I am not going to get use to it thou! It has been a positive experience. I am not doing this to be a bikini model. I am doing this to be healthy! If I weigh 150 lbs or 300 lbs, I know who I am, and that is an accomplishment to be proud of!
