Hi, I'm 48 years old I tell most people who ask that I'm 27. I have three Children that really aren't children anymore, my oldest is 25 my second is 21 and my last is 16 and still keeping his father and I busy with High school Rodeo.
Well, enough about my family which I can never say enough about, I Love them so much.
I haven't always been over weight not until after my children. I dieted for half of my life, Watching Caleries, Neitrisystem, Weight Watchers, L. A. Weight Loss, a couple other programs I can't remember the names, and Just plain starving myself, I finally got burned out on dieting and I don't even want to think that I would ever have to diet again.
I did daycare for over 25 Years even though the daycare was rewarding, lifting so many children eventully wore on my back and I had back surgory about 4 years ago. I'm not in as much pain as I had been, but it sure has slowed me down to the point that more & more weight came on.
I have several health issues also Diebetes, high blood pressure, high cholesteral, and Sleep Apnea, for these illnesses to go away I need to lose weight and it would be nice to look good again and get rid of the medication bills. A-men to that! July 7th is the date that I will have my Lap band surgery with Dr. Aceves in Mexicali, Mexico. I've heard good things about him and the Hospital I will be going to. My Insurance will not cover this surgery or anything that might arise after, so its cheeper for me to go to Mexico. So far I'm not afraid to do this surgery, but it is'nt the due date yet. I'm really pretty confident that all will go well. My family is 100% behind me on this, they want to see me have fun again. Well, thats all I have to say for now thanks for listening.

Hi, well I'm back from Mexico and had my surgery. Its been an up and down week. but its getting better. I am feeling hungry it seems all the time and I have started creamy foods. I don't feel like I am getting enought liquids, but I can't seem to drink any more, I feel thursty all the time. I lost 11 lbs. this last week while I was on the clear liquid diet, but now that I am on the creamy food I gained 1 lb. (dang it!) but I was told not to worry about this, because it is my healing time and just take care of my self.
I met three really wonderful ladies that were having surgery the same day as me. I want to keep in contact with them to see how they are doing.
As soon as some serious weight comes off I will post it. See ya later.

I had my first fill Aug. 17th and going in for my second fill Sept. 14th I hope some of this weight comes off pretty soon. I know that my eating habits have changed quite a bit, it had to because either I change it or I would throw up and God only knows how I hate throwing up. I'm trying to get in more protein shakes, but I have a hard time getting as much protein in even with a shake. Protein makes my stomach hurt. I was looking forward to being so possitive about all of this and I still feel I am to a point but, maybe its just not a good day today. I could use some advice. See ya all later.
