Sept 20/11 - I am starting to tell more friends and family about my upcoming WLS.  I have been a very private person which I am sure has lead to my obesity.  In discussing this surgery with friends and family, I realize their will be people that support me and other's that will critique and question my decision BUT I have come to learn that WLS is not only for health reason's but also for psychologically reasons.  
I have been dealing with my weight issues ( emotional eating, excessive use of laxatives, bullying issues, sneak eating, yoyo dieting, self - hatred for my body, emotional abuse in regards to my body,  $$$ spent on weight loss programs, society stigma re: obesity, recent health issues related to my obesity) for over 40 years.  It is now time to take control and do something for me.  
Bob and I are starting to take walks - carrying around this excess weight is disgusting.  My hips are throbbing and I have to take many stops when climbing hills in the conservation park.  
I barely have any clothes that fit anymore and I am approaching my highest weight of 234...
I am ready to begin Optifast (Sept 30/11)
I am ready for the surgery (Oct 14/11) 

Surgery in 24 days
