I"m getting VSG in Puerto Vallarta by Dr. Joya on Feb 1st. I can't believe I finally made the plunge to get it done. Although i'm very excited, I don't have a lot of support from my family. They are concerned and feel this might be an unnecessary surgery, not to mention I'm getting it done in Mexico. I don't have any co-morbidities and my family doesn't think of me as being morbidly obese. I have struggled with weight for 15 years now and i'm sooooo done. I need to do something or in a few years, I will have a co-morbidity.
Anyway.....if anyone is having surgery around feb 1st, lemme know.
Yes we can!!! My friend just had it done 3 1/2 weeks ago so watching someone up close has its pros/cons 
Her husband said tonight that she'd stopped saying " I shouldn't have done this" so I guess that's a good thing. She's lost 25 lbs as of last Monday...another REALLY BIG good thing.
I just know that I have a 7 1/2 month old granddaughter who I want to not only live a long life to see grow up.....but I want to be running, rolling, playing WITH her as she grows!!!

2013: 20 Funny New Year's Resolutions
When it comes to New Year's resolutions, our family members and friends can get quite creative and even funny with what they resolve to do in the New Year. Here a few good ones I have heard along the way...Oh, and a few of my own!
1. I resolve to stop procrastinating about procrastinating!
2. I will stop sending Facebook messages and emails to my loved ones when they are in the same room as I am!
3. I will use my treadmill for something other than a place to hang my jacket.
4. I will not sit at the kitchen table in my PJ's all day. Instead, I will move my computer to my bedroom.
5. I vow to never take a laxative and a sleeping pill on the same night!

I'd love a weight loss buddy!!! And I'm scheduled 2 days after you! I too am excited and nervous. I would like to fast forward through the first few months of the major adjustment but I ( we) will get through it and be healthy and happy for many many years to come!!!

I have my gastric bypass scheduled for Feb 4th and I am super excited yet nervous. I go pick up my optifast next week and I think this will be the hardest part. My husband works afternoons therefore I am home with my 2 young kids who I have to prepare 3 meals a day for........ Yikes. I find this journey to be much easier when I am working (I work on-call) and am able to stay occupied. I'm scheduled for the next 2 weeks so here's hoping that I get more hours for the last 2 weeks before surgery. Anyone looking for weight loss buddies are more than welcome to message me!
