Well, I am finally doing something for my health. I did a lot of praying, research, and thinking before making this decision and I consider it a positive change so I would appreciate only positive comments. On Monday I am having the Gastric Sleeve surgery and no it is not to make me look better. Of course that will be a side effect hopefully, but when you are on 2 blood pressure medicines and 2 cholesterol medicines, have Fibromyalgia and the energy of a gnat it is time to get the weight off. Yes, I tried Weight Watchers and 3 times was successful and gained it back every time plus more. I did Jenny Craig diet and lost but gained it all back plus. For 3 months Ive been counting carbs and Proteins and have lost maybe 5 pounds. I dont drink carbonated drinks at all anymore. Its time to get real with myself and get some real help so I did. Ive been preparing for 3 months both mentally and physically, but like I said earlier this is for my health more than looks. At 62 Ive decided if people dont like the way I look its too bad. This is for my health and well being. I want to play ball with my grandchildren, chase the squirrels in my yard with Ashley( who knows we might actually catch one one day), Id like to join the gym and exercise without feeling like each breath was going to be my last or at the very least take a walk on my street or ride my bike. So my reason for this little story is to ask for your prayers and positive support. Ive watching Mike Parkers progress after his surgery and Michelle Bohmans progress after hers and if I do as well Ill be really pleased, but I do ask for prayer and positive support as I take this journey. May God bless each one of you as He Blesses me daily! Thanks for reading!
