Welcome! My name is Terri and I am a 50 year old wife, mom, sister, daughter, mechanical engineer, and school secretary. Quite the combination, right? Over the course of 50 years, you do some stuff, you take on different roles, and sometimes you become a completely new person along the way. Well, now after fulfilling all these roles over the past half century, I am doing something just for me. Follow along as I journal my way through weight loss surgery and into a new healthy life. Just a heads up before we proceed, I intend for this to be a real and honest accounting of my physical journey as well as my FEELINGS associated with this journey. You may not like everything I have to say. You may not agree with my opinions or thoughts on topics. Let’s just both agree to be okay with that so we can hit the road running.
