Trust and believe there is not enough room on the worldwide web to tell my story but I am going to hit you with just a taste of me.
I am a 30 (damn near 31) year old, single mother of 2 wonderful kids. I am a outgoing, lively kind of girl who goes from home to work and vice versa. I do not do much else ( but that is going to change soon.) I am and Operations Expert for an insurance companny in VA. I am originally from NYC ( Queens girl all the way.) My parents are from Trinidad.
It has taken me about 5 years to decide that I HAVE to have bariatric surgery. I have tried everything including that stupid battery operated waist thing that was supposed to make my gut disappear...(yeah right) I had an ab roller that the dog Tretch slept on until his dying day. I did all the pills because I fell for every lose 30 lbs in 30 days , and I have tried the slim SLOW diet billions of times. The bottom line like a bunch of you, I am in love with food. It has been my comfort and my 2 faced friend for so long.
I am determined to learn to eat right and start going to support group. I know I am going to need emotional help as I get to rearrange my behaivors.
I have done most of my pre op including the blood gas that I had nightmares about and it did not hurt. I am counting down the days to the start of my new and happier life.
I hope to meet some wonderful people on OH who can relate to where I am today and where I am going tomorrow. It should be refreshing to have someone to talk to that understands instead of talking about me.
Well that is it for now......just 12 more days....
