Super excited! Stepped on the scale today to see that I am officially 100 lbs lighter than I was when I began this journey! This time last year I got on the scale and saw 315#'s. I sobbed and then squeezed into my clothes. I was sick, uncomfortable, in pain and depressed. The next weekend despite feeling like garbage. I did a party for a hostess and learned that she had had the RNY a year before. We spoke about it casually after her party, and I "Friended" her on FB. I asked her a few questions and she gave me the info for her surgeon. By March, I had done my seminar and was on my way to getting the clearances for surgery. I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, depression, borderline diabetes, and sleep apnea. I was taking so many meds, and my personality had just faded away. On August 10th, I had my surgery. I was 292# going into surgery. The weight loss prior to surgery was just because I was angry at myself and depressed.
I KNOW that God brought that hostess into my life at that time for a reason. She is now a great friend, and I thank her constantly. I know that it was time for me to be ME! Thank you all for being here for me when I need reinforced, and when I need to get support from those who feel and say we "Took the easy way out". THank you all.....now I am off to buy some new pants!!
100 gone forever!!
