Guest guest Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 That's right, I'm on my way. I met with my case mgr. yesterday and I got my date. Feb. 28th is going to be the first day of the rest of my healthy new beginnings. I also lost 1 more pound from Wednesday last weeks weight to yesterday. I'm doing super, and I'm totally felling great. This past weekend was great for me. I walked round Lake Merritt in under 1 hr, and also walked trails in Hercules in under 1 hr. Boy oh boy did my butt burn the next day. But heck it was working, doing what it's suppose to do. Have some trouble with my mom about the surgery. She asks a million questions which is great, but doesn't really take the time to listen and hear me say what I need to say to her. She keeps saying can't you just loose it naturally and just not have it. And i know all of you have faced this and I keep saying to her, it's not about loosing it. I have to remind her it's about keeping it off. I try not to get on my holy high horse about this. But its like talking to a wall. I tell her that it's about keeping it off and being healthy. I try not to offend her by saying she's almost 60 years old and can't keep off her weight and struggles everyday about that last 50lbs that isn't going anywhere without TNT blasting it off her hips. I told her last night I'm scared but I'm doing this for me. Told her she isn't me and she never lived a heavy persons life at my age. She never lived life as a heavy teenager, or kid. I told her you have no idea what it's like to be me. I told her just the same I have no idea what it's like to be you. I said I want a long healthy future and this is the tool I'm going to use to get me there. I said we've tried everything.... those same 40lbs always found their way back to my ass and thighs. I said I'm not lying to myself anymore about there not being a problem, cause there is... and I'm getting the tools I feel are right for me to battle that problem. Any one else have any advise??? I'm on the verge of telling her to stop talking about it until after I've done it. :-)LISA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Congratulations!!! How exciting! As far as your Mom, I don't really have any advice for you. It took my husband quite awhile to come around to it being okay to have the surgery. It takes patience and lots of listening/talking. Good luck! > > That's right, I'm on my way. > I met with my case mgr. yesterday and I got my date. > Feb. 28th is going to be the first day of the rest of my healthy new > beginnings. > I also lost 1 more pound from Wednesday last weeks weight to yesterday. > I'm doing super, and I'm totally felling great. > > This past weekend was great for me.

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Thats great news!!! As for your mom, hopefully she will see how much you need her support, that she may not agree, but that its your decision based on learning all about the procedure.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 , Congratulations!!!! You will be so happy that you have made this decision. I also had alot of people trying to talk me out of it and being worried about me. I did this for myself, for a change. I felt that I wouldn't be here much longer, if I didn't do something.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 My mother was just like that and it was worse because she would cry. She cried because I almost died in surgery and she was really scared. I told her I was going to die with all the weight and health problems for sure, or I could take a chance with the surgery and if I made it then I would at least have a second chance. Then I did ask her not to talk about it at all until after the surgery and if she did I wouldn't come around, so she didn't talk about it until the night before surgery and all she said was that she loved me and hoped I made the right choice. Now she is very proud of me and says look how great, and she's telling 2 of my brothers that are heavy you should do like your sister just have that surgery and you'll live longer. It will all be okay , your day is almost here and you will be on the other side. Hang in there.
