Hello out there I am new at this so over look my typo's please. I have not always been overweight. I kept the weight
on after my last child and added to it . He'll be 30 this year and he's only seen me fat. I am not so much a snacker
and a sweet eater and sometimes I eat because I'm hungry but when it's good food it's hard to stop. I also drink a
lot of soft drinks. I've learned not to keep them in the house and I won't have them to drink . But food at meal times
is another thing . I don't eat until I can't eat but I eat enough and I don't excerise like I should. I have seen a Surgen
and going through the process for the Verctial Sleeve. The reason I like it you absorb all your nuterients from your
food. I need to lose weight also because I have just been told in the last couple months I am diabetic. I have been
told that when I get the weight off I will no longer be. But the other nice thing about losing weight will be to be able
to sit down and take a soak in the bath tub and be able to get out , to be able to go in a store and buy clothes that
only look good on a slim person. To have engry like I used to have. There was a time in my life I could eat any thing
I wanted and not gain a pound. Now all I have to do is smell it . I grew up in the country in the south and you know the
type foods we eat . Good old down home stuff. It's hard to give up but I know If I don't It could shorten my life.
I know that once I have this my life will be different. I will be able to eat some of those old foods again just only on
special times and thats ok . For the new me will be worth it and my new best friend from long ago (Scales) will see each
other more often. Because It'll be a lot work to get it off and I don't intend to put it back on.
I used to think that weight loss surgery was the easy way out but I see now it's not. So yall wish me luck don't know
my surgery date yet I think it may be some time the end of Aug. But I will not be alone My husband is having it as well
his will be before mine. We are reading all we can on it. Do you have the same trouble eating certain foods as the
Bypass surgery? Such as salads , certain breads, steaks, pepper sauces and such. I know for about a year thease
things are off . I guess what I asking is at holidays when we have a family gathering will I need to make something
different for myself and my husband. I know this year yes but for how long?
