After years of consideration, I decided to take the plunge. I am days from my surgery and was really looking for some info on recovery and post-op dieting from people that have been through this process already. I try not to speak of my surgery because people want to talk you out of it. People say just watch what you eat, execise, give up sweets, etc., etc. My thoughts are that if it were that easy, wouldn't I be the size I want to be aleady? Bottom line, I am tired of being obese. I am tired of wearing plus size clothes and not being able to ride roller coasters with my teenagers. I am who I am true enough and I know that I am a beautiful person, I love myself, which is why I decided to do this for me.
