Blake, Scott pretty much summed it up. The biggest choice you have to make is the change in life style. It takes more than the surgery to stay on track, you have to adopt an entirely new way of thinking about life's choices. Starting with food is just the first step.
I'm glad you decided to get started before you had something bad happen.

Blake, it couldn't have happened to a nicer person. Congratulations buddy, you look great!
Like a lot of folks, I've struggled with weight my whole life. My parents didn't teach me how to eat right, and old habits die hard. I've lost it, gained it, lost it again, gained it right on back... I'm at the point now where it's getting harder to loose, and realise it isn't just exercise that will help anymore. Changing habits is going to help more than anything, and it's a rest-of-my-life deal, not just a passing fad or a whim. I know what you mean about the kids, my daughter is 13 months and she wears me out... and she's not even walking yet!
Anyway, I know how tough it is, so thanks for sharing. Maybe you'll help motivate some folks into changing their ways too, (including me!)

Thank You Sir! Youre right. Its so easy to fall back into those bad habits. Ive been home for a month, and a few times strayed from my diet, but the guilty conscious and the realization of ruining my progress sets me back straight. Its a constant fight, Ill tell ya that much. But, If my little story here can help someone else, then it makes it that much more of a success!
