Hello OH,

I can't belive it.

I about to have gastric bypass surgery!!!!!!!!!

I have been heavy my entire life.  I have never been skinny but I have been more physically fit than I am now.  I am now 308lbs and 5 foot 8 inches. ...I can't believe I am telling the world my true weight. 

My typical weight was about 250 before the twins but after the twins I ballooned up to 300 and stayed there.  I will say that the weigh gain was not the result of having them but rather I gained weight from trying to manage my priorities and not making my health a priority. 

I have tired to get the weight off and I have been successful a couple times losing 20 lbs or so but nothing significant.  And.....the weight always comes back.  I am now making myself and my health a priority because I want to be healthy for me and role model for my children.  I AM TIRED OF BEING FAT!

My surgery date is 12/13.  I am so excited but nervous at the same time.  I can't believe I am actually doing this.  I have been thinking about this since 2008 and I am finally doing it.

I am setting up a profiles so I can meet others like me as I embark on this new journey of my life.

AGAIN I CAN"T BELIEVE I ABOUT TO HAVE SURGERY!!!!!!!!!

P.S. 

Preparing for surgery has not been the easies thing.  I have given up soda.  I use to be able to drink 2 or 3  20oz of diet coke or diet dr pepper along with drinking coffee.  WOW!

I have reduced my caloric intake.  Tommrrow I start my seven day clear liquid diet.  That too will be mind over matter situation.

I need to workout.  That is my goal this week along with staying on the clear liquid diet.  I moved my treadmill into my living room.  I need to just use it.  I let my kids play on it.  I just need to be like Nike and Just do it too!  LOL!
