In three weeks I will finish my six months of meetings with my dietician. A week after that I will meet with my bariatric surgeon. The day after that they submit the request for approval for surgery to the insurance company and anywhere between a week and a month, we will get our green light for surgery. If things go as we hope, I should be having my roux en y done some time between mid September and mid October. Holy crap. So, as part one of my journey ends and part two begins, I'm letting myself daydream about what it will be like to be thin. (Something has to keep me from freaking out over the pain I will be in and the fact that I won't be able to enjoy food like I do, ever again)
Every so often, Jim or I will point out something that I'll be able to do after I lose weight...that got me to thinking of all the things I'm looking forward to and want to do once I'm healthy.
My skinny bucket list:
*Shop for clothes that aren't plus size.
*Wear high heels without being in unbearable pain.
*Wear my original wedding ring.
*Go to Valley Fair and not worry that I won't fit in or will break a ride.
*Sit on my husband's lap without killing him.
*Wear a bikini.
*Do the Mud Run.
Can't wait to add to this list and, even better, to CROSS THINGS OFF!!!
I want to say a great big THANK YOU!!!! to those that have supported me this far. I appreciate the votes of confidence and an ear to bend. I love you guys so much. You know who you are.
