Hi I’m Gaille. I’ve been around MFP periodically; however, I made the decision to go with Bariactric surgery. If anyone believes it’s the easy way out, it’s not true. If I want to be healthy, in spite of my new tool, I still have to exercise and eat healthy. My goals are about health more than anything. I’m turning 55 in November and I truly do not want to spend another decade opting out of life due to health issues along with depression and anxiety. I have a long way to go and I’m looking for healthy, respectful and positive support. You’ll definitely receive the same.

    :) You can do it Gaille! It may be tough, but it’s worth it to be able to do the things you want to do. I have not opted for the surgery yet, and hope to get healthier on my own, but I know several people who have had bariatric surgery and you are absolutely right, it is only a tool, not a miracle worker.

    I am doing a modified version of the keto diet myself, and it seems to be working for me, so I am going to stick with that. It’s difficult to stay motivated and keep my brain from telling me that I want something else to eat other than what I am already eating. My cravings haven’t gone away yet. But I am working hard to make myself healthier to do all the things I want to do in life. And finding the support around to help keep me going is essential. I’d be happy to be a motivater and supporter for you!
