I know that no one is reading this, but I wanted to get some of my thoughts down about this whole process. What process am I talking about? Gastric Bypass. Dum dum da dum daaaaaa.
I can remember the moment that I decided to look into surgery. I was reading an article and the woman was talking about how she had lost 100 pounds in 6 months. All I could think of is where I would be if I dropped 100 lbs. It would take me to 40 lbs BELOW my lightest weight ever. It would take me to within 40 lbs of my "dream weight". Could that be me? Could I do that?
I decided to go to the information session at the weight center. A few weeks before the session I started researching. A lot. It was kind of amusing because I told Tim as we were driving to the hospital that I was concerned I hadn't done enough...like I was studying for a test in college or something. Turns out I was one of the better prepared people there. I bring this up only so I can illustrate just how shocked I was by some of the questions coming out of people's mouths. It was like they thought they could just stop by the hospital, get the surgery and the weight would somehow disappear without them having to do any work at all.
Truth be told, that is partially how I viewed the surgery in the past. I felt like it was the "easy" way out. Nothing could be further from the truth. More on that to come.
