hi im new

hi everyone. my name is lashata moore. im a 22yr old wife and mother of 2 wonderful boys. my oldest is 2 and my youngest is 7months as of yesterday. ive been overweight all my life. ive been battlin this for yrs. ive decided to get gastric bypass surgery and take back my life. alot of people say im takin the easy way out but from what ive researched and read about in the posts its anythin but that. but i can say that i am very excited and ready to start my new life. thank you for listenin and for your support.

Welcome to our group! You are right...this is NOT the easy way out. The easy way out is t just sit back idly and do nothing. This way takes a lot of work and dedication and self discipline. WLS is an awesome tool to help us get a good start, but we have to relearn our whole way of living, so we can succeed for the long term. Nothing easy there! I will be 3 years out in July (21st) and i still have to stay very mindful...always!

It is an amazing and exciting journey, and I wish you well in it. Congrats for taking control!

Hi Lashata,
    Welcome to our group.  They are wonderful, kind, and caring people. I don't know what I would do without them. Posting is the way you get to know us and we get to know you.  It doesn't take long to make friends.   Mag   

Welcome to the group Lashata.  You are among friends here.  I wish that I had the wisdom you seem to have at 22 years.  I could have and should have made this decision when I was your age.  But, I am a slow learner.  I am glad that I wised up in 2009 and had my RNY.

Come to chat sessions on mondays when you can.  Reminders get posted each monday.  Ask any and all questions, we will share from our life experiences what has worked for us. 

Congrats on deciding to take your life back.  Let's be loser's together.  Hugs
