Several months ago my Doctor suggeted Gastric by-pass surgery. Since then I have begun to do all the preparations needed. I've seen all the doctors I needed to see, did all the testing they wanted me to do. Now I stand on the edge of a new beginning. I have 1 more of the 6 required nutrition classes to attend. Then comes the 1-2 weeks wait for all the final approvialls, before I can get a surgery date, that wait will  be 4-6 out from then.Thus far I've lost about 35 pds. I do not weigh myself a lot, personnelly it drives me crazy. I don't want to totally focus on weight loss, but getting healthy. Several people have asked me what I'm doing. Basically I've been following what  I have been learning in nutrition class. I thought a blog would be a good way to tell people that want to know. I also thought it would give me a way to check & balance myself. 

Welcome to my journey!
