January 2011
Since the beginning of my journey I had only told a few people, my bestie Dorothy, my mom, and my Jerry Bear of course. I was keeping it a bit of secret, not sure why, I guess I was worried about negative responses. For the most part everyone was pretty pumped for me. One thing that stung a bit was when my momma bear told my aunt ( a former nurse) she, of course, had a friend with dumping syndrome (http://www.bariatric-surgery-source.com/dumping-syndrome.html) and that is all my mom could focus on. I told my momma bear that she probably wasn't following a proper diet, I totally don't think she heard me. I stopped listening to her after awhile because I was shopping for something pretty. I am easily distracted. I've been told I have ADH.......oh look a bird! LOL just kidding. Then I started to tell everyone I know, the randoms at work, that weird cousin that no one talks to at the reunions it was a verbal diarrhea of sorts.
Guess what!!! I have an appointment for the endoscopy! It will be next Wednesday! I get to fast again, awesome! OMG this is actually happening. I am just weeks away from my dream. Luckily I have the day off, so I don't have to worry about that and my Jerry Bear can take care of me when I get home.
