Well.... I wasn't going to say anything because i didnt want to draw so much attention to myself. But I just can't keep it to myself anymore.
On April 5th I had Lapband surgery. Some of you know, but alot of you dont. SO there it is. This was not a rash decision. I did so much reading and research over the past year , with the help of Bryan, whether or not it was the right decsion for me. Not to mention preparing myself mentally and emotionally.
The surgery went well. There were no complications and I'm well on my way to recovering. It's been a bit slower than i expected, but I'm feeling better everyday. Bryan and my kids have been an amazing support and I couldnt have done it without them.
I knew physically it would be challenging, after all this is a major lifetime change for me. But I had no idea the mental and emotional challenges would be so overwhelming. I have had to totally relearn how to eat. And sadly give up some of my favorite foods. But hopefully the sacrifice will be worth it in the long run. I didnt realize how much of my life revolved around food until my life couldnt revolve around food. Its been an experience like no other I have ever had in my life.
But I decided to do it for my health and well being. Improving health problems i currently have and hopefully will preventing future ones. So i can be there for my child ren and someday my grandchildren.
Thank you to everyone who has been so supportive and encouraging me through this whole process. i am excited to start a new life fit and healthy !
