My turning point was realizing that I didnt want to grow old alone was turning into the real fact I may not grow old at all. At 350ish pounds and turning 40 I was on thr cusp of all sorts of medical issues. I had a long talk with my 'model body, eat a burger already sister' who mentioned a friend of hers had WLS, with great results. At first I was hurt and waaayyyy angry with her. But as soon as I 'owned my problem', my decision came easy. A chat with my PCP, another tearful with my sister, and lots of research led me to my decision of rny in August this summer. Thank God for my sister, my biggest cheerleader. I have a bucket list of things I cannot wait to do as I get healthier. And remember that Healthy isnt necessarily a number on the scale or a shirt size, its a feeling. One I cant wait for! Many Blessings on your journey.

I like the premier protein shakes as well. I have heard a lot of people buying heating pads, to use for gas pain. I like the sippy cup idea!

Its been like waiting for Christmas...lol. Its all I can do to not pack my hospital bag! I hope the summer flies by.
