This is going to be one of the hardest things for me. I love soda. But, the more I read about how bad it is for you, even the diet, the more I know I need to give it up. That, and not drinking with meals, will be the toughest for me. And Nazzy is right; the price of soda has gotten ridiculous!

I'm with you on not waiting for the holidays. I'm hoping to get my surgery done before turkey day and I don't care if it means I don't get to each much at the holidays. I'll take the weight loss! Congrats on being down 11 lbs. Nikki

My name is Nikki. I'm a mother of three living in Southern California. I'm currently looking for the right doctor/clinic to have the surgery. I'm paying out-of-pocket so I also need a place that has financing. I am SO glad I found these forums as I was feeling a bit lost, wandering around the internet looking for information. Looking forward to 'talking' to everyone. If anyone has a doctor recommendation (or someone I should avoid) for the Simi Valley/Westlake/Ventura area, please let me know!
