Hi there,
I wasn't going to blog or post things about my journey, but decided to get going a bit with some online resource where I could see and ask questions and learn more about the best products out there etc. my story is the usual... Struggled most of my life and as I near 50, I want to be and feel better. My weight was deterring me from doing too much. I don't like to be controlled and felt my weight and relationship with food was controlling me. I needed drastic help such as bariatric surgery. I was going to do the sleeve, but because of my sweet tooth, my dr. Recommended the bypass. He's the expert, so here I am on my one week anniversary. So far, so good - down 10 lbs already! I'm looking forward to my new lifestyle and anxious to see what's in my future!
