Describe your behavioral and emotional battle with weight control before learning about bariatric surgery.
I have been overweight since I was 5 years old. I didn't know what it was like not to eat candy, ice cream, sweets, and I didn't know what it was like not to sneak food. For all of my life my Mom would say (bless her heart) Honey, you have such a pretty face if you would only lose. My ex husband wanted a svelt long haired size 5 wife (notice the word ex here!) My darling husband of 22 years loves me as I am but wants me to do the best for me. I was bullied as a kid, made fun of, and as I grew older, I let my profession do the talking for me and not worry about my weight. What a sad existence that was.

I'm hanging in there!

Hi everyone! It's been awhile again since I've been here.. I'm losing but it is slow.. since I started at 292, I'm now 254... down from 3X to 1X and some 18/20's. Thank GOD I'm tall at 5'7"! I can still hide it!

I'm still writing things down - a good thing - when I remember to. I still am eating protein first 2 bites then 1 bite of veges or fruit or starch. I still can't eat bread.. I tried the other day and I thought I was going to die after about 4 bites of toast, and then UP it all came. I still can't digest beef... and sometimes I can't digest fish that is baked either.

I'm still doing my shakes.. and I've learned to stop snacking at night.  I have found that I am craving (there's that old head hunger again) a little bit of sweet something, so I bought 5 pieces of sugar free Russell Stover dark chocolate and have one a night.

I'm starting to exercise... finally got the treadmill and am doing my best to do 30 minutes a day at the very least.

I am trying to not be discouraged. I know I had the choice of RNY or lapband, and while I see a lot of my friends losing so quickly with the RNY, I'm slow and steady... so I guess I'm a little jealous... but it's all for the good..

Anyhow, I'm here and I will try to be here more.
