My Apologizes and so much to catch up on



Man I really need to get better at blogging especially since I actually like doing it. So first and foremost I want to say sorry to my followers (if I have any). OK where do I even start. Well the last post I had basically stated that I was a few pounds down, I wear and CPAP for sleep apnea and etc. Well I am proud to say that (drum roll please)
 

 I GOT APPROVED!!!! After a plethora of tests that I had to do they finally submitted my paperwork to my insurance company and 2 weeks later I was approved. I am so happy that this journey will actually start and its reality, its not a dream anymore. 

As far as the weight loss that I was supposed to lose by this time right now. I struggled, I struggled a lot! I gained a few, lost a few and my BIG setback was that for some reason in 2 weeks I gained 7 lbs. I say for some reason but I know, I admitted to myself that I gained those 7lbs because of what I ate. I ate something I wasn't supposed to. Not a lot of it but instead of following the no carbs eating, I failed and ate carbs. BAD ME!! I went to my appt. with my surgeon and she was kind of shocked but told me just keep on losing the weight. I need 7 more to lose before my surgery which is 10 days away. I know I can do it and I will. The biggest question that most people have ask me is am I nervous or scared. As of right now I am neither, I am more excited then anything. I know it will be a major challenge but I am ready to take it on. The only thing I am worrying about is the fact that I get majorly nauseous and vomit a lot after having anesthesia, my stomach hates it and since I am having surgery on my stomach I think the pain will be even worse. I hate that I get so sick and am hoping that they will have something to help the nausea ease during the coming out of it process. We shall see.


 Things that I am afraid of after surgery
  • I'm afraid my husband won't like me as much as a smaller chick, he loves the plus size women with big boobs. I don't think I'll have much left of my boobies.
  • I'm afraid that my ass will be no more, I barely have one now.
  • I'm afraid my boobs will be no more, they've already gone from a DD to a C.
  • I'm afraid of the loose skin hanging all over the place.
  • I'm afraid I'm going to have a lollipop figure (big head small body)

 So I know I mentioned a loooong time ago that we are looking into moving and I am happy to say that 2012 we are moving. We are extremely excited about it. My husband has a hook up out there and he is currently looking into working as an RA. If we do go his job will pay for a place to live until we get settled into our own place. That would give me enough time to look for a place to work and get the kids into daycare/school. It's just time for us to do what we need to do for our family. It's going to be hard especially since we are both so close to our family but we have to do what we need to do for us. We'll be able to see our family a few times a year and we'll still have the Internet and thank God for Skype. It's going to be strange at first but I am sure we will adapt.

WORK
Work has been crazy, I'm not stressing about it though. You just have to roll with the punches, its the same o same o and I'm just so used to it that I let it roll off my back and move on.
 
OK well, I promise that I will keep updating on my procedure and life in itself, I know I've said it before but I am going to try. 
 
My procedure is on April 4, 2012 at 10:30. Here's to a new me and a new life with my family.
