Getting Closer!
Feb 08, 2008
Ok this is my first blog. I am having RNY April 8, 2008. I am so excited to get this new part of my life started!!!! I know it will not be an easy road. I am not fooling myself into believing it will be something I don't have to work at. I know I am going to have a hard time with not being able to have the foods I like to eat now. I know that I use food to take care of everything in my life. And it so doesn't!!!! I am a very emotional eater. I eat when I am bored, watching TV, reading a book, sad, mad, glad......you name it I do it. So I will sure being making some HUGE Changes in my life! BUT I am ready for those changes. I have read everything I can get my hands on. I am on several boards and have made LOTS of wonderful friends who have been through RNY or are going to be going through it. I probably bore my other friends to death with all my talk about it. I try very hard not to even talk with them about it because I don't want to frustrate them. Plus a lot of people just don't understand, they seem to think this is the "easy way out". I just want to scream at them when they say things like that. I so know this will not be easy!!!!! This will probably be one of the hardest things I have ever done in my life, including giving birth to my 4 children. But I KNOW it is what I HAVE to do!!!!! I can not go on living like this any longer!!!! I have no life. I have no energy and I am in pain all the time!!!! So April 8th will be the beginning of my new life and I am very excited to get started! I feel I am prepared for what I will face and I know it will not be easy. I have talked with my family about the emotional changes that will be going on in me and asked them to please be patient with me and understanding. I will sure need all my friends who have been through this and all your support!!!!
