6 Month anniversary.
Obviously I am not going to have my 6 month appointment until the second week of may - however today is my surgiversary here is my entry from my OH profile blog....
6 months ago I was wheeled into surgery. The Boy stood beside me and for the first time ever said the words "I love you" just as I was wheeled away.
In 3 days I will walk down the aisle and become his wife. He said one of the things that solidified in his mind that I was the one was how I handled my whole obesity issues. I never once blamed my genes, I never once crawled in a whole and said "I can't help being this way."
I watched as obesity issues damaged the heart of my father, the knees of my mother and brother and watched as they each continued to harm thier bodies. I looked at myself and said "NO MORE" and took a stand.
I was fat (328lbs), I hated it, it was my fault. I fought hard to overcome major health issues and endured painful brain surgery and 4 years of rehab to get to a point where I thought I could benefit from WLS.
I have come a long way in 6 months. I walk past a mirror and am startled (pleasantly) by what I see. I consider taking pictures of myself and e-mailing them to The Boy while he is working just because I know it will make him happy.
Some have asked if I had this surgery for him? No! I had this surgery for me. These are my dreams that are coming true!
