Update on pre-surgery weight loss!

Feb 25, 2009

As of today I've lost 75 pounds pre-surgery...this is since July 2008 when I began my required food program (by insurance). I am so excited and looking forward to March 6th as the beginning of another chapter in my life! Thanks to everyone who has been supportive and encouraging!

Pre-Surgery

Feb 24, 2009

I am less than 2 weeks from my laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery. I don't feel nervous but rather excited. I want to begin the next part of my journey towards becoming healthier and more of the woman I have always been meant to be! I began my weight loss program in July and have lost 69 pounds since then (as of last Thursday anyway) and feel better everyday! I have gotten a clean bill of health from the cardiologist prior to my surgery being approved and am blessed to not have diabetes, heart trouble or high blood pressure although I do have borderline hypertension (controlled by meds which the cardiologist predicts I will not need within a few days following surgery) and arthritis from old injuries. I am also blessed to have such great support. I have friends who have had the surgery and even one who will have surgery in April-May for whom I will be at her side as she is going to be by mine   I know this is a journey that will never end and I am totally accepting of that as I believe life is a lifelong journey and we learn as we go along if we remain open to the learning process!
