Here I go

I'm a horrible at journaling.  I really am.  My husband bought me a really nice journal to write down this process I am embarking on and while I started out great, sat down and wrote about a half dozen pages on my experience so far, I set it down to take a break and just haven't picked it up since then,  That was about 3or 4 weeks ago.  I still want to journal, I just suck at writing.  So I decided to start a blog.  Why not?  I'm on the internet all the time!  I can type a lot faster than i can write.  So here I go!

What is this blog about you are asking?  Well it's about regaining my life!  It's somewhere where I plan on being honest with myself as well as honest with whoever might read this.  Shame and embarrassment need to go out the window if I am going to be successful at this. 

This is where I will be talking about my experience going through weight loss surgery.  I don't have it scheduled yet, still working through the process.  I am hoping that by the end of February I will have a date set! I will be having the full bariatric bypass.  I am in a great Bariatric Program that has many requirements.  I have fulfilled most of those, the only thing I have left is the 5% weight loss expected of me and one more appointment with a psychologist.  Have to make sure I'm not crazy I suppose. I have 10 more lb's to lose. 

I have never tried this blogging thing, so please bare with my while I figure all this out.  If you are friends and family and are deciding to read all my gibberish I thank you, if you don't know my and have managed to come across this, welcome.  Please be nice. 

More to come!  Hang on and enjoy the ride, I know I will!
