Hello from Birmingham!

I have been lurking for a while, but I am really enjoying this website so I figure that I might as well say something.

My surgery date is next Friday, November 6th and I am excited, nervous, a bit ovewhelmed (with all the info), and then excited again. I said this change with be my birthday/Christimas gift to myself. At first, I wasn't worried about my weight...I have always been a big girl, but I was comfortable with it. However, I found out that I was diabetic last year and I knew something had to change. I was tired of taking medication, tired of aching...just TIRED.  Right now, I am tired of this pre-op diet...LOL.  I'll be honest, I am not sure that I am doing it right, but I do know that I am eating way better then I was before the diet and I enjoy my protein shakes.  I want to live a long and productive life...and at the rate I was going, that was not going to happen. However, after Nov. 6, this will be a change for the better.

I look forward to learning and sharing with you all!
