I am a 38 yr old single mommy who is done with the battle! I have always been the "fat kid" in class... and etc. And I have been up and down the rollercoaster ride of diets.. starvation.. fads.. and etc. After hearing about WLS I decided to research it myself. I went to all the classes and gathered as much information as possible to make me feel comfortable. And after a yr of the process I finally got my date. I started my journey in April 2010 and had my surgery May 18th 2011. I am now about 5 weeks post-op and doing pretty good I think. I recovered rather quickly and followed doctors orders all the way thru the process. I didnt cheat once on my liquid diet and still my liver was large. I didnt have to have the open surgery... but it was def borderline. I walked every cpl hrs night and day to prevent blood clots. They scared me to death of those things! Anyways I have done the clear liquids... the regular liquids and am now finishing the pureed foods. I actually am having a very hard time getting liquids and protein in but I am still trying. I am just hoping this journey ends up the way I planned. Just feeling comfortable with myself and healthier! I have already had the "regrets" the 1st few days after... asking why I would do this to myself. And the scare of thinking this will work for everyone BUT me. In the long run I know everything will work out fine. With a positive attitude like the one I went into surgery with... I can conquer All!!!
<<<<< I Luv this thing!!!
