(2 weeks post op) unless you knew me in 2006 (when my profile pic was taken), then you have NO IDEA, who i am now. my brain chemistry is completely different. i mean, the things that were important to me just a month ago, don't mean anything to me now. i was preoccupied with things that basically kept me busy but not really accomplished anything. i didn't want to ride, workout or even stand for that matter. now i have a crazy amount of energy in comparison. i have to keep telling myself i was operating at 50% capacity before (only with the help of meds) and now i'm at about 70% with NO MEDS.
i'm back to work, which is going ok. i'm not hungry, and have been sipping on water throughout the morning. i think i will sleep well tonight.
one thing i keep thinking when i see someone that is obese (like the lady i saw in the elevator this morning) is... "why don't you get the surgery too" life as a fat person is not that joy filled. there is no excuse for it. being fat is a self-control and emotional issue, plain and simple. knock those both out with the surgery. you can't overeat ever again no matter what the reason!!! your life will be shortened if you keep killing yourself slowly by overeating. yes, your stomach will be smaller, and you'll have to forever change the way you eat, but............ISN'T THAT THE F*CKIN POINT....... you're eating yourself to death!!!
obesity is a "modern society" problem, and bariatric surgery is a "modern society solution to a modern society problem". it's philosophically a no-brainer. the awesome thing about me having the surgery and someone with "will power" is that i come out ahead in the long run, every time. will power only works if you have the will. i have the "power" irrespective of will. my body will fill full with only 6oz of food, not for mr. will power. my body produces far less hunger hormones, not for mr. will power. it's not possible for me to overeat PERIOD, i win, you lose, thanks for playing.
what's the point in all this? it's that, for an obese person, the surgery is a life saver. bottom line. part of the reason for me blogging about all this is because i want people that may be thinking about getting it, to hear a first hand account. yes, that first night was the worst i have felt EVER in my entire life, but it's in the past now. consider it labor pains for the new me. and right now, oh so worth it.
