Tomorrow at 6 am I will be at the hospital getting ready for surgery.  I am not nervous yet but I am excited.  I have been waiting for this for a very long time.  I pray everything goes as planned and there are no surprises.  I have finally finished getting all the items I will need after surgery.  I have yet to find a protein powder I really like but I can tolerate the ones I do have.  I am so looking forward to a summer where I will enjoy the weather and the outdoor activities...

I am going to have gastric bypass surgery :)  My surgery date is April 2, 2012!  It took me almost a year to get through the testing but I did it and now I have insurance that wll pay for the surgery.  I am ready for this,  I have been going to the support group and I have met some really great people.  I can not wait to have a life, more so, have the life I want and deserve. 

I look at my uploaded pictures and they all look like different people to me.  I know they are me, and none not to long ago but when I think of myself  those pictures are not what I see.  Is any one else like that?  Plus I think if you didn't know those pictures ere all me you could think they were all different people because they look so different,  at least they do to me.   I was thinking about gastric bypass surgery this morning and how close I came to having it done when my husband talked me out of it because of his own issues with the surgery and how much I regret not doing it because it would have been totally paid for by my then insurance and now my current insurance will not cover it at all.  What is a person to do.  I'll keep working at it I guess. 

I know I need to change my current way of life not only for me but for my family as well.  I see it in my children everyday that they are going to end up just like me if I do not do something now to change their lifestyle so for their well being I have made a decision that today I will put forth the effort needed to change our lifestyle and make healthier choices in hopes that it isn't to late for them to learn how to eat right and not grow up to be like their mom.  I found this site by listening to a friend of my Mother's and I plan on using it to help me get through the tough times ahead.   I hope I can stick to this and I am not just talking out my a** but we will see and right at this moment I feel strong and have most of the tools I need to accomplish the goal at hand.  What's missing you might ask?    Healthy food......  I guess I need to go to the grocery store.   See ya....  Until next time.....EAT YOUR VEGGIES!!!!!
