My journey to an improved me

May 01, 2012

Today is the first day of the rest of my life! I am two days and an awake from my WLS and I must say I"m excited. I am getting the sleeve! What was an eye opener for me was when I was in the stores and nothing I liked fit, and on top of that I had to start wearing flip flops and tennis shoes, because other shoes didn't fit as well. Here is a picture of me today @ 401lbs....wow, I never thought I would let myself get this large. I always had a weight problem, but I was able to keep it under control where I would exercise and maintain a healthy diet; however, as I got older I seem to go on the yo-yo syndrone of diets. I've done weight watchers, slim fast, diet pills, low carb diet, and although I would originally loss about 20lbs, that was all it took for me to think I had it all under control, and before I knew it, I was back up in my weight with the added 10 to 15 lbs.So as I begin this journey with the WLS, I look forward to putting into use all the teachings that were given to me by my surgical team.
