Today I weighed myself and I am officially down 50 pounds!!!! FIFTY POUNDS!! I am so ecstatic! I can't believe I have lost 50lbs in 8 weeks--it's mind boggling! I have to confess that I haven't been exercising like I should be, but on the flip side I just got official "clearance" to work out on machines at a gym now so NO MORE STALLING! Now is the time to get into a solid routine--I am checking out a couple of gyms to see which one will suit my needs best! But truthfully, I can totally feel the difference in my body and how I feel! My sleep is better and my energy is definitely better than what it used to be. I have a plan and I am going to do my best to stick to it! So anyway, I do have some other news--if there are squeamish readers out there, then read no further--However, it is was it is. Some of you may or may not know that I was diagnosed with endometrial cancer 5 years ago. Well after 5 years of being cancer-free I have been told I definitely need a hysterectomy. After my miracle baby was born last year ( I say miracle, because I was told I would never be able to have kids again) I started to experience very heavy periods and now it's out of control--It's like I am hemorrhaging every time. Totally disgusting. So while before the surgery I was totally against having a hysterectomy, because at age 36 I wasn't ready to give up the idea of possibly having another child--I really wanted a girl--NOW I can't wait to have it! I think having WLS changed my whole attitude. I am ready to focus on me and get myself healthy for myself and for my family. I have neglected myself for too long. I am ready to get on with life! My surgery is on Dec. 9th and hopefully everything will be fine! I go to see my Nutritionist tomorrow and I can't wait for the next "tier" of food that I am able to have--I believe I am allowed to have SALAD!! I am so happy for that! I will post with news from that appt. tomorrow! Peace Out!!
