A.C.E of Hearts

<p>I have researched WLS for 8 years. Finally&nbsp;my insurance covered it. Surgery was December 6, 2011. During surgery they repaired a hernia. The hernia repair I think was the most discomfort of the&nbsp;process.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I started my Liquid diet November 24. I am amazed I was able to handle it well. And very excited to say &quot;No soft drinks since&quot;! That is over 30 days for me - No Coke a Cola. I am proud of myself. Upon my first check up December 23 I weighted in at 272. It's nice to see all my disipline has paid off. When I started weightloss surgery I was 298. On surgery date I was 291.</p>
<p>I plan to return to &quot;Curves&quot; to exercise this week. It is a 30 minutes workout.&nbsp;I don't think that is asking too much. Can't wait till I lose enough weight that others notice. But just this little weightloss has raised my self esteem alot!<br />
<br />
&nbsp;I am trying to journal my food. The past two days I haven't been recording my food. First I ate too much Christmas Eve. Made me miserable Christmas Day so didn't eat much.</p>
<p>Christmas Eve we went to my in laws house. I am allergic to their kittens. Christmas Day and today has been miserable. I can barely breathe and cough when ever I walk from room to room. Hope this passes soon. 2011 has been a rough year. Hope 2012 brings more sunshine and rainbows. And a new me! New memories with my children of things I couldn't do before with them.</p>
