I HAVE DONE IT! I
HAVE MADE A DECISION; a decision that will impact the rest of my life for
either the good or the bad. I cannot
turn back now, I leave in 4 days. Lord
help me!
I am over-weight! I
hate the way I look! I have given
up. I find it hard to walk a long
distance. I don’t feel like doing
anything. I haven’t done any true
exercise in years and am feeling it. Most of my joints ache and I have a hard
time getting up from sitting and getting in and out of vehicles. I hate shopping for clothes because nothing
fits right or looks good. I then get disgusted and hate myself more. I have tried every weight-loss scheme, fad,
program, gimmick and pill. I have
exercised in the gym, by DVD, by TV, by myself.
Nothing I could stick too. Of
course all the weight that was lost had come back plus more. Thus, my decision.
I want to be thin and healthy. I want to get back what I have given up. My classy, happy, professional thinner
self. I could always see myself thinner,
but grieved because I never thought I would get there. My decision will give me a chance to be a
much better me!
On January 4, I leave for Puerto Vallarta. On January 5, I will have a Vertical Sleeve
Gastrectomy done by Dr. Antonio Castaneda Cruz, bariatric surgeon. I will have approximately 80% of my
stomach removed laprascopically. There
have been some amazing results from this surgery, but there have also been some
varying degrees of complications from this surgery. I have done my research. I have met the surgeon and am aware of some
of the serious complications. I feel that I am prepared and that this is the
best decisio
.
I will continue to blog about my experiences, my thoughts
and my journey to onederland. I’ll add a
few pictures here and there and hopefully I will connect with others who have
this struggle and are deciding to make their big decision. Until tomorrow. We
all DESERVE to be happy! ANGE.
