Slight bump in the road...
Mar 28, 2009
I have a sinus infection and my surgery date has been moved to Tuesday April 7th. At first I was disappointed, and tried to get the nurse at my surgeon's office to keep the date, and swore that I would be better on Monday. I went to my PCP and got an antibiotic. Then realized postponing was the best decision. I had started the semi-liquid diet, and now am a little off track, but I will go back on on Monday. At least I lost 3lbs last week..Woo Hoo, shrink that liver!!!
I let the bump in the road slow me down a bit...but now I am up and running and to quote my sister "Everything happens for a reason."

Is it real?...I hope so.

Now that I have a date and approval things are soaking in. I have decided to write a very honest (and a little embarrassing) list of all the things I am looking forward to. Some are new and are things I have never experienced. Some are things I haven't been able to do in years and miss.
1. Run with my daughter.
2. Wear heels.
3. Dance, Dance, Dance
4. Ride a roller coaster
5. Walk with less knee pain.
6. Enjoy exercise (somewhat :)
7. Cross my legs.
8. Do Yoga
9. Sit indian style
10. Shop somewhere else besides Layne Bryant, Avenue or on line
11. Travel on a plane.
12. Stand for more than 10 min. without pain.
13. Eat to live not live to eat.
14. Wear a dress.
15. Sit in a theater seat without feeling stuck.
16. Get a real hug, not half a hug :(
17. Wear something because it is "cute", not because it "fits".
18. ENERGY!
19. Ski again.
20. Scuba dive again.
21. Ice Skate again.
22. Fit in a booth.
23. Feel sexy.
24. Wear jeans that don't stretch.
25. Resume discussions and activities that may lead to a baby :)
26. Clean and organize my home the way I want.
27. Be a healthy role model for my daughter.
28. Fit safely in a car seat belt.
29. Extend my life.
30. Not dread walking up stairs.

Well, here I go!!!!!

Well, here I go! I am finally ready to start my blog. I technically began my journey about 4 years ago, when I began researching and seriously considering weight loss surgery. I went to a seminar at top hospital in my area, and felt uplifted, but I was not ready. I thought I was but I needed to sort some other things in my head before I could start that journey. I had a tough couple of years..but I finally had a breakthrough in December 2007. I began to really look at the issues I have with food...and what is causing them.
But I digress...today's news...I was APPROVED!! WOW! Now it is real...I am feeling about 35 different emotions at the same time.
I am trying to focus on the goal and start preparing myself for real. I have not been so great at my 6month supervised diet. Only lost 3 lbs. But ever the procrastinator I know I still have time to get the ball rolling and prepare myself mentally and physically for this surgery. I want to use this bog as a journal, and I hope to write with the intent of helping myself as well as anyone else that I can inspire. Because there is nothing worse than feeling like you are alone and that no one else understands your struggles.
Peace and Love, Michelle
