My name is Billie. I'm from Houston, TX. I'm having my surgery on September 17th. Already I am eating like a pig, trying to get all of my favorite meals out of the way before hand!! My husbands on the loosing side, because he will no longer have home cooked meals everyday! Cereal here he comes! But then again he doesn't have weight issues (lucky)! But overall, your posts are pretty entertaining and make me feel like I'm not alone... Its gonna be one tuff journey, but we'll make it kicking & screaming! =)
