I am a mother of four beautiful children, two are grown and I still have two at home! I have battled weight issues since I graduated high school where I lost the doctor who my mother took me too for the good ole' phen/phen diet.  I have been on multiple diets, some directed by physicians and others self medicated. I have tried to NOT eat and do nothing but water (lasted maybe 24 total hours) or WAIT ... how about the cabbage diet!  (I found I lost a lot of FRIENDS on that diet, not weight) =)  I have finally decided that WLS is the best resource for me to be successful at the weight loss battle.  I have to argue with those who say, "that is the easy way out", coming from my FIT aquaintances.  I do not think there is anything easy from the minute I started researching the idea to being two days away from my operation date.  I believe it has been on of the hardest lifelong decisions to make and I am proud that I have the courage and the means to be a candidate for WLS.  I hope that you find peace in your journey!!
