Hello everyone,
 
My name is Ivette. I found this website just browsing online. I am still pre-op, although my weightloss journey has been for a lifetime! I am very positive about how this surgery is going to change my life. For me weight loss is not just about looking great and wearing what I want (although I can't wait till I get there!! :P ) It is also about my health, keeping a positive attitude in life and most importantly my son Bryan which is my world! Being here for him and starting to enjoy different physical activities with him.
 
I joined this site with the hopes of staying on the right track and to receive and give support to people who are going through the same process. I live far from most of my family, and it can get lonely here with just a handful of friends when everyone is busy with their own lives.
 
I only have one son. I have always worked in the accounts payables field in banks and advertising companies. I am usually just with my son in the weekdays. Some weekends with family and friends. I love poetry, DIY projects and want to get into Oil paiting. Like to workout, hopefully very soon I will consider it a fun part of my life again lol. I like all types of music.
 
Just trying to find a way to live life to the fullest at this point :) Any suggestions as little as they may seem will be happily received and appreciated :)
 
Thank you for reading :) and good luck in your journey as well.
