Surgery is 2 Weeks From Today
I have been "lurking" here since I was first approved for the surgery 2 months ago. Now that I have a surgery date, I finally registered. My surgery has been scheduled for Sept. 4 (2 weeks from today).
I am anxious and a bit scared. I've had surgeries before, so that part doesn't scare me. It's the fear of going through all this, then gaining it back that terrifies me.
I have dieted all my life. My mother and grandmother both weighed over 300lbs. I saw how handicapped they were by their weight, and how it shortened their lives. My mother put me on my first diet when I was 8 years old. I lost 30 lbs. - a lot for a young child. It's been a constant "lose 30-gain 40" my whole life. I am very short (barely over 5'), so I don't have to eat a lot of calories to gain weight. I don't have that much to lose, but when you're short 20 lbs. can make a big difference. My goal is to lose 80 lbs. which will bring me to 130 lbs.
Along with our regular "day" jobs, my husband and I have our own karaoke business. We run our karaoke show at a local bar every Friday and Saturday night. 12 years ago (when I was thinner), I used to win singing competitions and sing for different local venues. Once I get my weight back under control, I hope to get more involved singing again.
