I HAD MY SURGERY ON AUG 15 2009, and I consider this to be the beginning of my new life.  I, just like most people have tried everything to loose weight; I have battled with being overweight since I was about 18.  It seems like the more I tried diets, the fatter I got.  I think the turning point for me was after I had my daughter; I did not want her to suffer in anyway due to my weight.  I found the older she gets, the better shape I need to be in.  I want to run, play, and simply be able to keep up with her.  I want to ride bikes with her, take walks with her, and most of all I want to be the best example of a woman for her.  I find that my weight holds me back from being the best me, I can be.  So after months and months of preparation; here I am 5 days post OP.  The journey starts now...
