Last Phsyc visit

I had my last phsyc visit today.  She passed me and said she would have her report done in 2 weeks.  She said that I was the most ready person she had seen in a while.  She also said Corey may have problems with not being my caregiver when I lost all the weight.  It was so funny I told him I always knew he had problems.  He just laughed at me.  But all in all its done 2 more months diet and I am ready .

Leslie,

I am glad to hear that it went well. I would be sure to heed her concern about changes in relationships, because they do occur. As long as everyone is aware and manages it, that's fine, but the balance of the relationship can change when you go through this physical and emotional metamorphosis.

Wishing you all the best,

Leslie!  That is so neat...to hear that you are the most ready person she's seen in awhile.  I have no doubt! 

What you said in regards to Corey is a topic I have thought much about.  When I was on bedrest with the last pregnancy, lost E's twin, had several surgeries following that, have had the debilitating sciatica ever since, (not to mention there were years of debilitating depression during our marriage before all this), hubby has gradually assumed a role of a very protective husband who wants to wait on his wife hand and foot when he is around.  I sometimes scold him that I'm not a child, I can do most things for myself, but he LOVES to do everything for me...he says not because he *has* to, but because he *loves* to.  My friends who know this tease me about it mercilessly!  Your Corey is just like that too.  He's a very loving, protective, nurturing person, isn't he?  (Both our hubbies have problems!  lol)  Anyway, Allen and I have talked about how important it is going to be after my surgery and my weight-loss begins for him to allow me to do more and more for myself...and FOR HIM!  I am really looking forward to the roles reversed!  He says he promises he will work on it, but sometimes I can hear a little bit of sadness in his voice when we talk about it.  You'll have to keep me posted on how this works out for you both.

Just two more months!  Holy cow, did you ever think it would go by this quickly?  HAS it gone by quickly for YOU?  It seems like not long ago we were meeting for the first time and you were at the start of your journey.  I admire you and am blessed to have you as a friend!

Congrats on passing your Psych visit! Best of luck to you on your big day!

Leslie,
  That is awesome news! These two months will fly by for you!

I hope that you and Shauna and everyone else that have such wonderful husbands know how blessed you are! Do either of them have any great brothers that would help take care of me? ;) LOL
A good man is so hard to find! I'm happy for you!

Hugs,
Cindy

Great news Leslie!

These 2 months will fly by = especially with the Holidays almost on us.  I am so proud of you and your pre-op diet - I saw where you are losing and that is great! 

It is good to think about the future and how things will change with your relationship with Corey.  Let him know he is still going to be needed, but in a different way.
