Sha'Non75

I am 35yrs old and everything has alway been for everyone else.  I looked in the mirror last year after my son's birthday and really looked at how much weight I had gained.  I don't feel that I am that heavy or feel like I am 35.  Since they day I have weighed my options and looked at what weight loss surgery was best for me and it was lap-band.  I am notjust doing this for me, I'm doing this for my son who is turning two in october and he is my sunshine.  He has been to all my appointments with me and it has been fun for me and enjoying every minute of it.  I take blood pressure meds and I can't wait to get off of those.  I have gotten rid of my clothes that will not fit after surgery.  I kept seven pairs of jeans, 9 shirts, and 5 dress shirts.  All the other clothes I had taken to the good will.  I have not bought any clothes and I'm not going to until the clothes I already have are too big.  I have started back walking and doing zumba (it is really fun).  My surgery date is 10/11/10.  I thought the liquid diet would be hard but it really isn't.  It's the same diet I was on when I had my son.  I have alot things happening in October (My surgery to change the rest of my life for the better, my son's birthday is in the 21st (he was born a premie by the grace of god you can't even tell. And thankful for life.)
