Hello everyone...I decided to start a blog where I can keep you updated on this new adventure I am taking. As most of you know I have battled with my weight as long as you have known me and as long as I can remember. A lifetime of yo-yo dieting(trying every diet known to man)...loose some... gain it back plus more, with that came always feeling like I had failed which lead to very low self esteem which that caused so many other issues in my life. I recently turned 40 and my birthday present to myself was Gastric Bypass Weight Loss Surgery. My surgery was on January 13, 2009 and was very successful. I have researched this surgery and have wanted it for two years now. I don't see this surgery as an easy way out( which alot of people do) however I am choosing to use this as a tool to become a healthier me and also give me the ability to change things for my family. I just wanted to say thank you to my husband Gregg who was very much against me having this surgery but despite his fears has supported me...I love you, thanks to my kids and my dearest parents who have also been very supportive and helpful, and to everyone who was praying and continues to pray for me. Thank you...Thank you...Thank you!!! I love you all and will keep you posted. When I feel brave enough I will post pictures.
Love and God Bless you, Lisa
