Hi everybody, I am Jeme.
I found you all in my search for ways to make my future-new life of eating different become more flavorful.
I am scheduled for bariatric surgery Sept. 5. I am nervous but excited. I have not told anyone except 3 family members who all feels that it should be that way. I am normally a very, very private person. I felt a little comfort and a sense of a possibility of sharing what is happening with me with you all.
I hope that I am welcomed.
I look forward to sharing much, learning much and giving much....
Jeme

Welcome to you to Kelly.
I guess I am the oldest person so far. I will be 60 this year. I am kind of thrilled with that. Everyone says that I look a good 40. I am avid exerciser -water aerobics, water walking and land walking. I have had so many bouts of failure when it comes to loosing weight. Medically, I am good but with prescription drugs my blood pressure and cholestrol is under control. I been under the care of a nutritionist, prescribed by my GI doctor due to fatty tissue on my liver. I am seeing a GI because of high intolerance to lactose, wheat, and celiac disease stuff. As much as I have exercised and watched my diet, I have gained rather than lost. My doctors then suggested bariatric surgery. I am hoping that my good skills of dieting and exercising pays off. I love traveling to treacherous places, building houses in Mexico, Costa Rica and here in the states (missionary work and Habitat for Humanity),. I miss doing that in the last 2 years. The weight is finally limiting my "going".
Good luck to you and I look forward to hearing of your success and others, as well.
