Gotta love Clusie L.... So some of her 10 may be uncomfortable or even annoying, but I think I can handle it! I needed to add this video to my blog so that I had something to go back and watch ... to remind me what I am getting into!

I have become a little preoccupied with the Idea of having the procedure, I needed to talk to a REAL person who has had it. The person who inspired Sunny to have the surgery knows the people in my family, so I thought I would message her on FB and chat with her about the surgery. We chatted for a bit then I just called her... She did a lot to calm my fears. It is good to know that others have gone before us and if we decide to do this thing, we are not alone in our recovery. If I am able to lose 125 in 4 months I will be more than 1/2 way to my goal, this is exciting to me. Finally I may have found a way to get a hold on what has me down.
Warning - Do not watch this is you are squeamish ... There are those days in our life that we don't think much of at the time, but these are the days that God has constructed to forever change your life. Like the day you bump into your future husband in the line at McDonald's, the day you drive past the for sale sign in front of your future house on a back road, the day you meet the woman who will be the push you need to change your life and the life of your family! 3 1/2 years ago, Michael & I stepped out on faith, we heard a child was in need and agreed that we should help out. That was the beginning, we not only gained a daughter, but met a few awesome people along the way. My favorite by far happens to be a woman I have said from the beginning I would also 'adopt' into our family, in fact Dacota and I have decided she is our honorary Aunt. Even after our time with Sunny ended we kept in touch. Almost 3 yrs later, we are asked to take on another 'Challenge,' again we get to spend some time with Sunny. There is a connection with this woman I can't explain, there are few people who just 'get' me a high level of trust & respect was there from the beginning. Today, I had gone to pick our new Challenge up from a visit & Sunny says .... "I am so excited, I think I am going to go to mexico and have gastric sleeve surgery... come with me!" I did the whole 'yeah, yeah- that'd be nice, but it is so out of my reach - lets sit and dream together though...' thing. I'm not going to lie, I left there thinking, Man that'd be nice, but it is too much for me to handle, for some reason though, I couldn't let it go, I talked about it with everyone, my mom, my sister & BIL, & Michael, I picked up the phone and called my friends just to talk through it. God must have wanted me to really take it into consideration, because it popped up over and over again, and I researched it for an entire week, it was in the front of my mind. At this point, It would take a ton more research & thousands of conversations with those I love and respect before I commit. For now the prospective is nice. |
This weight loss is only from June 2015 (I had lost another 51 pounds prior to this)
Blog MissionIt has taken me a long time to get to this point, but I feel like God opened the right doors at the right time. My vision for this blog is not only to document and share my journey with those who care, but also to encourage those who may be following in my footsteps. First and foremost though, I want to give all the glory to God & to focus on his plan for me throughout the journey. What you talkin' 'bout?VSG = Vertical Gastric Sleeve Categories
