Sorry it's been so long since I've been on here. I got motivated tonight when I saw a friend of mine who had surgery for the gastric sleeve.

I am going to admit that I have not been exercising at all like I should be. I do have a list of excuses that I can add here but I am not going to. The bottom line is that I have just lost my motivation. I haven't gained any weight or lost. I am maintaining..... that doesn't make me happy. I need to get myself moving again and it is SOOOO hard!! I can think of 1000 other things that I would rather be doing than going to the gym or even just getting out and walking.

So I have reflected back on this journey I began last fall. I have re-read this entire journal and I am so thankful that I did! I remember what I went through before my surgery... and especially right afterward. I didn't do this to just get to this point and lose my motivation.

My plan is to get back on here and post every week again. It gives me some accountability that I feel I really need right now!

About Me

Marcie Torres
I am 38 years old. I have a wonderful husband, Rudy, who supports me in everything that I do. I have a great family of supporters and of course all of my good, good friends! I love my life! In early May I decided that I am really not happy with my weight. Regardless of all the things that I have tried, nothing seems to work. Rudy and I went to an informational meeting regarding the lap band system and gastic bypass. After much research and many questions, I made the decision to have the lap band done. Having had lots of lower back issues and other health factors, I know that the time is now to do something before I get too old. I want to be able to look back at my life with no regrets. There are many things that I do not do right now because I just don't feel comfortable in my own skin. And so my wonderful journey begins..... my pre operative requirements have all been met and my surgery date is scheduled for September 25, 2008!
