Five weeks out of surgery and I am feeling great. I have lost 35 ponds and I can't believe what a difference it is making in my life already. Between feeling better about how I look and feeling healthy, I just can't stop smiling.

I am about half way throught the process of getting surgery and I am becoming very excited. On 4-25-07 I had my appointment with the psychologist and my last appointment with my dietician. I already have my physician and physical therapy apointments scheduled. I feel like everything is going by so fast but at the same time my appointment is almost a month away so I feel like it is taking forever.
============================================================
I have dealt with obesity my whole life, well since I was 6 years old. When I was younger I dealt with this by dieting and working out and when these things didn't work I starting dealing with it in all the wrong ways. Including abusing drugs as well as attempting to starve myself. I am finally at a healthy time in my life, healthy eating and working out no forieng substances but I am at a very unhealthy weight. I have started to take the steps towards getting down to a healthy weight. Right now I am seeing a dietician. I started trying to work out. I would like to think posatively about things and I do still have a hope that some magic diet will work, but I feel like I know that I have been over weight my whole life so this isn't going to just go away.
I have already gotten the requirements from my insurance. I am just starting to go through the steps required for surgery. I know I have a long road ahead of me.
