So here I am today.. Just amazed at how this tool works. Granted I look at food and say MAN!! Dont i wish I could have it.. But OMG I can now see why i never lost weight even with all the exercising.. I couldnt control myself and found it absolutely normal that I was eating as much.. NOW i cant eat a cup of anything. Everything is ounces, I dont feel tired, deprived, or needing to binge... I have though had to face more of my emotions though, I cant turn to eating for comfort anymore... LIFE change, not just weight loss.. I realized this for myself this morning (Actually just now as Im typing this) Ive read many say its a lifestyle change.. BUT I proved it to myself. I feel great.

I have 3 days left.. Just three! I started out so many months ago and now it's finally here. Now I wish I had more days to get things done. I'm a little nervous, but excited. My MD made me feel really good about the outcome I should expect. The Nurse I met with also got me pumped up because she felt that I was going to use this tool 200%... I just want the 16th to come and go, so that I can start making the necessary changes in my life. I've been cutting things out drastically these past two week and feel tired so thats where my nerves are coming from... Im edgy lately.. UGH!

So I'm driving myself crazy trying to get everything done before this surgery. It was going so slow from June through the end of October and then BAM!! all of a sudden I have an approval, a surgery date, and a whole bunch of pre-op appointments with the world. I am so excited, but oh so stressed and tired as well.

I find myself looking at the before and after pictures of people in OH and I cant help but wonder what my progress is going to be like..

So that's the scoop today. Hope all is well on your side of the screen.

Hi All.
It's my birthday!

I began the first part of my journey in May 2007. Today (10/29) I was told that I was approved and that my surgery date is Nov. 16th. Currently I am tipping the scales at 276. My heaviest weight was in 2000 at 305.

I can't believe I just typed that. I've never disclosed my weight to anyone but my MD's, and even then I would lie if I knew I was not going to get weighed.

I will keep updating my profile soon, but I wanted to type a brief intro to introduce myself and to start getting to know a couple of people on here. So far, everyone has been wonderful and I truly appreciate all the feedback I've received these past couple of months.

My Story

Sooo.. My journey began (that I can remember) back in 6th grade. There was this boy named Sergio, and I was wearing a tan skirt with a pale yellow shirt to school that day, all of a sudden he turns around and says "man you have big legs," and that's basically all she wrote....

After that I never wore skirts or shorts, so I've been wearing pants and jeans since 6th grade. I was instantly scarred and I never recovered. I've gained weight, lost weight, just to regain it... I've never stopped exercising, though sometimes I get lazy...I've tried every diet pill in the book, I never got into the Weight Watchers or Jenny Craig type diets. I've bounced from 305 to 215 back to 270 and have kind of stayed here for over a year. I'm a bit tired of it and want to be consistent, hence my decision to go through with this surgery... In a nutshell there is my story.
