I would just like to introduce myself to everyone. My name is Mrs. Miles, I am 42 years old and I weigh 280lbs at 5foot 2inches and my highest weight has been 298. I am schedule for the Sleeve surgery on 1/26/11 at 9:30am. I am excited and I am currently on day 5 of my pre-op diet. I have done great and give all my glory to God who is giving me another chance and new start to be a healthier me! Sometimes I think about how others are going to view the smaller me because I have been plus size since birth! But, I won't know until I do it. I am married and have four sons and I am already cooking healthier meals for everyone and no one has eaten McDonalds in a week that I have bought, which feels different. I also noticed that when I was going out to eat, I was just used to spending money. Well my husband said, just save it for new clothes you will have to purchase. LOL! I can't imagine that it was about a year ago that I started praying and started this journey with the doctors, dieticians ect... I just wanted to say hello to everyone and look forward to chatting in the future.
