In order to do so I started a blog. I have my finale apt before getting surgery date this Tuesday. I am curious as I have the blog how I change through the process of surgery and weigh loss , my outlook and my emotions. Anyone who wants to follow me maybe add advice or experience and get to know my journey feels free

That's a great idea, even if just for you. You can look back later at the days when things were frustrating or on your victories and smile. Good luck!

Hey There!

Congratulations on making this important step in your life. Refer to your new journey as 'Life 2.0'

Take control of yourself, but be honest about the situation.

I only mention this because as you start to loose weight, you must be disciplined and never get to the point where you sit back and think you can get 'back to normal'. Your normal is what made you what you are today.

WLS is a tool in the tool box. At 56 yrs of age, I am simply 'tired of being fat'. I am fat and once my target is reached, that means only an achievement, not that anything is over. But I know one thing: I will never be fat again!

Best of luck!
