Hi everyone, It seems such a long journey from the start of the prelimary class for bariatric surgery to now. For me, I started getting serious about weightloss in March 2010 and that is when I started my first prelimary class. I started walking and can now walk 2-3 miles a day. I enjoyed all the classes we had to endure. I had surgery in San Diego and it was such a nice experience. Drinking in the hospital was good, and I was not hungry. When I got home, that is when the battle started. My family is making cookies, making dinner, and eating like crazy. That is the hard part. But so is drinking every 15 minutes. Sometimes you just have to get up and leave the situation. Well that is my beginning.
