Default 5 Day out Wow Moment!
Hello all! I am 5 days out from surgery and I had 2 Wow moments today.
First let me start by saying that physically, each day I get stronger. I am taking the advice of you guru's and resting . Yesterday was my first day out of the house and my daughter and I walked down the street and back a few times. Eating has become a chore and it is difficult to keep up with the water sips, all of the meds and eating ! I guess it is more time consuming than anything because I am following my Dr.'s rules to the letter. I still feel I made the right decision though! No REGRETS! I am down about 14 pounds however about half of that was weight I put on while in the hospital.

Now for my wow moments, I went to church today as I wanted to thank God for keeping me safe. Anyway, I went to put on my shoes and they felt as though someone had stretched them out. I brushed it off but when I put on my sneaker later to go walking, those seemed larger too!!!! OMG I think my feet are shrinking!

My other wow moment is that my husband and I had not told my family about my decision. I just did not feel like hearing anything anyone had to say. Well I sat my two sisters down and told them and my older sister said she thought it was a great idea and she wished I would have told her so she could have been with me. My younger sister actually started crying, crocodile tears and all. When I asked her why she said she was so happy for me and had secretly already gone to her Dr. to inquire about having it done! This was such a load off for me. I hated sneaking around although I am grown. We decided it would be best to wait to tell my parents until they come to visit in about 8 weeks. That way, I will have good news to report about my previous medical issues!

Today was a great day for me. I pray there are many more to come for all of us!!! Talk to you soon, I am tired!

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

Way to go! I wasn't going to tell my brother and sister-in-law but my mom insisted that if I didn't she would (I liked the idea of sending a text message from the hospital and turning my phone off). but actually, my brother was speechless and they have been supportive/concerned. Considering they always were the experts regardless of whether they had any experience this was a nice change.

I'm happy for you! Congrats on the weightloss. It's good to have the support of family. I love the shrinking feet thing... I am a self confessed shoe fanatic and being able to wear a medium witdth shoe is heavenly!!
