Gastric Bypass Surgery
Hi, I am seriously thinking of having this surgery and would love to hear from others who have had it. I know this is not the "end all" answer and that I will have to change my mindset in order to succeed at keeping the weight off, but my weight is to the point that I have trouble moving around, exercising and working.

5 Days In
5 days, no sugar, flour or wheat. Exercised all 5 days. Feel great and am actually looking forward to tomorrow. I feel that I'm on the right path and even though my weight loss is only a few pounds so far, I feel much lighter and more energetic. This is a big change for me, I haven't felt good in a long time.

I started using my new Wii Monday and I'm having a blast with it. Does any one know if it's OK to wear shoes with it? I have bad feet and ankles and although I love doing the exercises my feet are really starting to hurt.
