NO WAY! YES weigh VSG VICTORY

Mar 19, 2014

I was so happy to get out of the house for the first time today after my surgery last week & I was so anxious/excited to see what my Doc's scales said because I have waited to weigh until today at his office...I started eating healthy on 3/1 started out at a whopping 282 pounds and surgery was on 3/13 TODAY MY WEIGHT IS 259! WOO-HOO  down 23 pounds.  I know I have a long way to go, I know I'll hit stalls & brick walls but I haven't been able to ever lose 23 pounds without starvation in the past & it would have taken me 2 or 3 months to see any progress like this.

My folks took me to my appt. because my Mom wanted to meet Dr. Mathews as the day of my surgery he only spoke to my husband after he was finished...my Mom had walked off somewhere with my daughter.  Then we went to Wal-Mart where I bought a scale; which I refuse to step on again until this time next week!!! A new blender-as mine died & a food processor.  In the past for diet/weight loss celebrations I would buy myself a cookie or snack cake-makes no sense but I figured my starvation deserved some kind of reward, albeit that wasn't the right kind cause I kept getting fat, but today my reward was getting myself some tools to help me stay on track.

Thank you JESUS, Thank you Dr. Mathews for hearing my prayers.  I Just started my journey I know but I already feel amazing & walked all over the store today without my feet or ankles hurting or getting out of breath or sweating like a horse.  I am also able to wear NORMAL shoes again and wore a cute pair of flats that haven't been on my feet in over 3 years to my appt. today but then switched to tennis shoes for my shopping & walking.  Am i going to miss Dr. Pepper, Birthday cake, pizza & Mcdoubles from McDonalds? I might but I'm not EVER touching any of that stuff AGAIN because the rewards are far greater than the short term taste could ever be.

23 pounds lost so far! 23rd Psalm
