My prayers are with you and your family that God may bless you with a little one.

My surgery has been set for July 2, 2010. I am somewhat excited yet I am a little scared. I know this will be a life changing event for me but I am praying that I am able to help someone who is considering weight loss surgery. Since I have been a member of this site I have been truly educated in all aspects of the surgery and eating stratergies. I am glad to be a member and I appreciate everyone that has contributed their stories which has educated me beyond belief. I am currently on a liquid diet and is going better than thought. At times I get fustrated when I think about the foods that I used to eat however as each day goes by it gets a little easier for me. I keep reminding myself that I have to get my health in order to be here for my beautiful wife and two children. I started my weight loss journey June 2, 2010 and I weighed in at 408 lbs. As of today June 21 I weigh 379 lbs. Losing weight has never been a problem for me once I get started however keeping it off has been my downfall. My doctor wants my weight down to 200 lbs. I know I am going to do it and thank God for giving me the opportunity for getting my life and health together. Please keep me in your prayers that I make a speedy recovery. I love you all in Christ.
