Well, I took the first step. i went to my first jump start session with Dr. Chang today. Sat about in a circle with three other overweight people listening to the wisdom of a doctor who is going to literally change our lives. A sweet woman named Janel also shared with us her successful journey thus far....a journey that is 115 pounds lighter today!!
Holding my breath when he spoke of the risks, but smiling when he told of the healthier lease on life. im not going to lie...of course I am doing this surgery for me..to enjoy the things the "thin" girls enjoy..clothes excersise, and whatnot. But I am also doing it for me for my children. i want to enjoy my time with them while they are young for I will not get these days back, and I dont want to look back and say I missed it because I was too tired to play with them or my knees hurt to bad to get on the ground and play. They are my real reason for this surgery. Though the risks are there, every morning i wake up is a risk, and right now i am killing myself slowely and surely.
I dont look at this as an easy way out, I am realistic. I know it will still take alot of hard work and dedication on my part. it is a TOOL. It wont work unless I do my part as well.
Next meeting is Jan 14th...looks like Humana will be making me do a 6 month diet regime, so we are looking at May or June. I am ok with that, it gives me time to prepare. He also wants me to try and lose 22 pounds before my surgery date, and since I have already been put on a diet by my physician, I will continue that
I will keep you posted with weight losses and gains through out the next month til my next meeting with him
