Two weeks ago I had a wonderful Bridal Shower. So many of my friends and some of my family made it. We played lame corny games, ate some tasty food, over indulged in cake, and opened gifts that helped Adam and I furnish our apartment.
And none of this.... NONE of it, not the bridal shower, not the wedding, not the engagement, the dating, or anything to do with Adam would have happened without my VSG.
Back when I was starting to feel like I was ME again... (which was after about 75 pounds being lost) I talked with my friend Nikki about how I was feeling like I was ready to start dating again but didn't know how to go about it. I didn't like the thought of going out to a bar and meeting someone there.... Not my style AT all. So Nikki told me to go online and try a dating site. About a week later I sifted through my new skinny pictures and created a profile. Within days of creating that profile I went online to delete it because the messages I was receiving were disgusting and offensive. The mother of those men would be so ashamed if they had any idea that they ever thought some of the things they actually typed!
Well, logged in to delete my profile and ended up browsing through my matches and clicked into a few profiles. There was Adam with a silly picture taken in a bathroom mirror on a cell phone. I wish I could remember exactly what his profile read, but I remember that it really made me chuckle to myself so I decided to just say thanks to him for being a gentleman and that I found he was funny...... Well, our first date happened within the next two weeks and on May 25th he asked me to officially be his girlfriend....
And this year on May 25th I will say yes to being his wife in front of our family and friends. He gets up set when I talk about how my surgery was the best decision of my life. But he didn't know me before the surgery... Am I still the same girl I was? No, not at all. In some ways yes but in a lot of ways yes. But Adam would never have happened if I hadn't gained some confidence in myself and that confidence came because of losing weight that I wouldn't have lost with out the surgery. End of story.
