;)Well, Monday was my information class. The first step in this whole journey. I am getting my surgery done thru Kaiser and so far so good. I learned alot at the class... somethings that motivate me and somethings that scare me!

Also, giving up alot of my favorite foods and drinks... like popcorn... white rice.... white bread... pretty much any starch! Also... all sweets, processed foods and carbonated drinks! Even asparagus... which i love as well and found kind of odd!

I guess it's all part of the process if you want to reach a "healthy" weight. Apart of me also is scared about the surgery it's self, but I think since I have already had about 1/2 a dozen surgeries.. I am almost used to the whole process. Now, of course the "healing" portion and the after effects of this surgery is something I will not be prepared for.

Getting blown up with gas?? gas moving to your shoulders and causing sevre pain? plus, let's not forget that your stomach was cut open!! But, I am hopeful that it will all pay off in the end.

Today I have my first doctors appointment and then 2 weeks from now I will have orientation. I have to lose 10% of my weight before the surgery. I guess I need to get busy.... I will keep you posted on my progress! :P
