I discovered your blog over the weekend and LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!! I spent hours readying every entry from your decision to have surgery forward. The earlier ones were so emotional for me I couldn't read them. The feeling of desperation and disappointment you write about are all too real for me. It's so sad how we "fat girls" keep trying to push a boulder uphill and then beat ourselves up when it runs us over. I'm tired of feeling ashamed of myself and only want to look forward. You are looking so good, you inspire me!! I'm hoping to have WL surgery early next year in MX, gastric plication. I can hardly wait!!
Keep up the good work -- in the weight loss and the writing!!

Erica,

Thanks for reading...and good luck with surgery next year. I am so glad I chose plication as my surgery. I am losing, and really can eat anything I want, just smaller portions. I don't have any intolerance to anything.....keep reading, keep posting.....it is very cathartic to write out stuff, take care....

Congratulations! I love the pictures, you can really see your success. I'm enjoying following your blog, as well! I'm preparing to have the gastric sleeve in January. It is helpful to read about others' experiences!

Congratulations! The pics are amazing. Just wanted to let you know you were my inspiration. I found your blog a month or so ago. I was so disappointed because I was not going to pay $20k to have surgery(lap-band). I just got back from Mexico Thursday, had surgery with Dr. Carvala on Monday. Had the gastric plication. I am feeling better and looking forward to eating some creamy soup next week. I am so glad I did it!! Thank you for posting this info.
