So my journey is set to officially begin this week on Wednesday, when I go to a 3-hour information session, followed by my first appointment with my surgeon on Friday.
I’ve been trying not to obsess about the outcome and the future since my last post and I think I have been relatively successful in that. I have told my family and close friends and have been getting good feedback. The people I have told have known me for a long time and know I don’t do anything on a whim and that I am a research queen, so most everyone said good for you and we support any decision you make. They also know that I have been overweight since a child and are happy for me that I have made this decision.
I’ve been reading many blogs and watching many YouTube weight loss journeys. It has been very helpful to read and watch people who are going through the same thing as me. Sometimes it makes me sad and angry that we all have to deal with this and how simpler life could have been if weight wasn’t an issue, but such is life and I must move on.
I’m still anxious to get this going and wished I were on the other side. I want to embrace and learn from this experience too, but if I could just snap my fingers, it would be this time next year.
I want to thank everyone, who has the courage to write about there journeys and even more to the individuals who have the balls to post it in a video. I’m not sure I’m willing to put in the time to do that, but I’m grateful for the individuals who do.
