Introduction

HI!  Thanks so much for following my blog!

I've started this blog to keep a record of my weight loss following my surgery, Duodenal Switch, which will take place May 11, 2011 the good Lord willing!

I am beyond excited and the journey has really all ready began.

I stopped drinking carbonated beverages on February 24, 2011 and have pretty much caffeine free aside from what is in the chocolate I've eaten since then.  Yesterday, I decided chocolate was also to be removed from my diet as well.

This journal really began in November of 2010 when I attended a 3 hour class on the different surgeries and really got to know what will be happening in this process.

After four years of considering and arguing with myself over whether or not to do this, I've definitely decided this is the right path for me with help from our Heavenly Father, family and friends.

I'm pleased to have you all here and I know I'll be depending on positive thoughts and support from all those I know and love!  No comment will ever be too small to leave...remember that!

Hang on...here goes the ride!! :D
