bakes

I am from NY the finger lakes area! I weighed 128lbs when I graduated from high school & then I had two children & never taking the weight off before having another child. I continued to gain more weight & tried every diet known to man lost a little but regained alot. I am also a Lpn & because of being a nurse it's even harder being over weight. I'm currently preparing & have been for many months for lap band surgery. I came to a point in my life where my children are almost grown, my husband & I will soon face empty nest.  I began to look at my life thinking; I've always done everything for others what about me. My health was becoming borderline with diabetes, I already have bad knees & a family history that is full of diabetes / heart disease ect. I've made a committment to change my health / life for the good & I want to be here for my family for a long time. Currently I've under gone all the pre-op requirements and am awaiting my surgery that's scheduled for 10-5-10 I'm truly excited & have my family behind me 100%! I am very committed to this life change & wonder why didn't I do this along time ago!
