Anyways I stumbled upon this blog and I read through it (to search for the reason it popped up under my sushi investgation) and I loved it. Such sarcasm and bluntness! I loved it! AH! It made my day! Thanks. I've been out of surgery for a month. I'm in Brasil...recovering... The surgery was much cheaper here and the people that cut me open all spoke English. Not that it mattered since I was heavily sedated... But I really liked you writing. Tchauuu -Szti A.

Hopefully for the last time. I'm all for those that have had the surgery, but like with my religion (I'm Jewish), that's MY story, and I'm not too keen on others telling me to be something else. Personally, I think I need to doit the REAL slow way, becuse having BEEN a bulemic, having done Overeaters Anonymous, Optifast, Medifast, and everything in between, it always came back on. I also feel that it's my own damn shit that got me here (225 pounds - top weight was 280), and I have to work my ass off to get it smaller. I don't know why, but personally, I feel like surgery is the easy way out. That's just me. I know it's hard, and I don't intend to start a flame war, I'm just sharing my feelings about it. I think if eating and lack of exersice is what got me fat, then therapy (to deal with WHY I overeat), and eating less and moving more is what will get me smaller. it's a choice. I can choose to continue to stuff my face, or I can choose to deal with my feelings. I applaud your efforts, and I Love the photoshop head/ :)

How incredible that you took the plunge and went for it. I am currently in the process of preparing for Lap Band. There are many reasons for this as opposed to gastric bypass, one being insurance of course. Go figure. Anyway, I am absolutely beside myself that I found your site! You remind me so much of myself! I too am from the midwest, I too have gripes and complaints about my egg donor, the list goes on and on. I did have one thing I wanted to say or contact you about, and I wasn't sure where to send it or how to reach you, and I was reading about this incredible journey you have embarked upon with your weight loss. That is the Duggars Family. I would really like to discuss that more. I watched the most recent Discovery Health show on them, and while I did so, I took notes. I also have a huge pet peeve with the Gosslins. You know, twins and sextuplets. The little twins are wicked witches, spoiled brats. And the parents are bitchy, whiney, and complain? Well, did any of us tell you to get knocked up with all those kids? Anyway, I know this post is about bariatric surgery. Since I am new to your site, I will stop there. But would really really like to get more info on you, your site, and your posts. One more thing about the surgery. When I talk to people about my choice to have Lap Band, I am finding some real negative feedback. It's not always from the skinny mini's either. Sometimes it is from people that are overweight enough to have it, and I find that, because I know them, either they are too scared to go under the knife, their insurance won't pay for it, or a host of other reasons. I even have had several say to me "why in the world wouldn't you just tell people you are dieting and exercising? Why would you be so open and honest about it? If it were me, I wouldn't tell them I took the easy way out." I feel alot like it sounds like you do. I want people to go forward and do it too. If I have success with my surgery, I want others to know that if they have the chance to do something about their weight, and that means they can live longer, healthier and happier, then go for it. I have nothing to hide. A year ago, I had a personal trainer at the Naval base we were stationed at, I followed each and every single thing she told me to do. I worked out, followed a strict regime she detailed out for me, I ate 6 small meals that she helped me plan, so on and so forth. I did this for 5 weeks. I lost 6 pounds. I know that slow and steady wins the race, however, it about drove me to drinking. Ok, not literally, but I think you know what i mean. I gave up soda pop 2 years ago, and lost 24 pounds. Yay me right? Well, I found sweet tea and lemonade. I gave up oreo cookies this past March, lost 12 pounds. Found them! Damnit to hell. Anyway, I will go and quit boring you to death. Again, I just thank God I found your site, I have thoroughly enjoyed reading your posts. And I hope I can contribute, sound off, and keep in touch with you. Some of what you have posted I can relate to, and feel like we must be sisters somehow. I too am 36 years old. I hope to hear from you soon! Have an absolutely fantastic week!
