I catch myself daydreaming a lot lately, usually about the things I want to do after Ive lost the weight.
I want to become a runner!
I want to take me kids to the baby pool and not be another overweight mommy covered up in shorts and shirts.
I want to enjoy shopping
I want to have energy
I would love to feel attractive
Comfortably crossing my legs again! Lol
To be able to rock a little black dress!
Those are just a few things that

Tonight is my first informational meeting with the surgeon who could possibly do my sleeve. I'm excited and hoping she will put my mind at ease on a few things I'm really worried about!

I have a huge sweet tooth...hence the weight problem! How will I control that after surgery? I know I'll be needing to up my will power. And watching myself shrink should help....
I'm also so worried about the thinning of hair! My hair isn't thick to begin with...so what vitamins are the best to aid with the hair loss/thinning. Does everyone experience that? I went to cosmetology school, hairs sorta my thing! LOL

I'm going to my first informational meeting on the 14th. The last 4 months I've worked with a dietician to try and lose weight-am not really losing anything...I'm 30, I already checked with my insurance, my surgery is covered. I meet the criteria for the surgery. So, my question is, does anyone have any idea how many months I'll have to wait until I can have the surgery? I know it'll be different for everyone. But I just hope it isn't going to be like, 6 or 8 months! I'm ready yesterday!

I'm 30, been heavy most of my life. I've tried every "life style change" you can think of. Nothing works. I've never though I would ever look into weight loss surgery. But I've been doing tons of research and talking to people who have done it. I've decided to go to an informational meeting later this month. Praying all goes well and I can start the process! I hope it doesn't take too long. I've already wasted 30 years being fat. I'm so over it! I need to get healthy to keep up with my
