Well today was my 6 month post op check up... I have to say I am still amazed at how much I have lost in the past 6 months. When I went for my 3 month check up I was down 106 lbs... Today I was down 70 more lbs for a total of 176 lbs in 6 months... I am under 400 and I am very happy with my progress so far. I would like to be under 350 by my birthday which is July 30 I think that is a reasonable goal. :O)
12:01 am - Day 1 Well today I started this journal in hopes of sticking with this and keeping track of my experiences over the next few months and possibly longer.
I started learning and researching WLS about 7 years ago and am just now the closest I have ever been to actually getting a date for surgery. I have been through 2 other surgeons who in one way or another did not serve the purpose. I am very happy with the one I have now as he is one of the top 5 in the country.
I found myself thinking last night of being rolled into surgery and saying my I love you's too my devoted boyfriend, it brought tears to my eyes. I know that this is something I need to do in order to have a semi "normal" life. I can't continue existing in this manner.
I am so lucky to have found a man that loves me so unconditionally and has been there for me through the worst times of my life and that to me is TRUE love.. I am so blessed to have found him.
I really don't know what else to say I'm sure it will come to me eventually I may even post my thoughts more than once a day lol...
