Hi to each and everyone! I am new to this forum thing but am excited to meet new people who are in the same boat as I am! I have been heavy since I can remember and am done with dieting! It is time to change my life! I am a 37 years young mommy of 3 little girls and I need to start thinking of myself too!:confused: I am from the Des Moines IA area and am scheduled for surgery this next Monday, March 29th, 2010. I am so excited but there is that hint of nervousness in the pit of my currently large stomach=( I am currently on my pre-op diet which really has not been that bad except today for some reason I have been more hungry! Well, I look forward to chatting it up with everyone and hope to learn some valuable information from you all. :redface:
