Describe your behavioral and emotional battle with weight control before learning about bariatric surgery.
My eating has always been bad. Food is how my mom showed love sometimes. She worked alot and wasn't home much. when she did come home she would bring me a "treat". It was a box of Little Debbie cakes and as early as 10 I can remember eating the whole box myself. I never really learned how to eat healthy and we never had family meals where we ate together. When I moved out on my own i was clueless, and quite honestly I would rather spend my money on beer and partying then healthy food. I started drinking really heavily and gaining weight in 11th grade. I went from 210lbs to 225 lbs my senior year. By 19 I was 250lbs, and at 20 I was 275. By 23 I was at 320 and maintained that weight during my pregnancy. A bad relationship and...

Pre-Op diet and the local NEWS
posted on 3/13/12 8:59 pm
Hi, it's been a crazy week. My pre-op dietitian supervised diet is going much better. I got a call from my surgeon offce today and they asked me if I would be willing to share my journey with the local news. They just joined forces with a Physical Therapy group to provide water therapy to bariatric patients and they want someone to share the journey. after thinking about it for a while, I decided it is a great way to keep me on track. Especially pre-op. I have had so much trouble following my pre-op diets in the past. So being filmed throughout this process will really give me the motivation to do the things I need to, to get my body ready for surgery. I go tomorrow to do my initial consult with the physical therapist. Yay! Oh and free physical therapy certainly can't hurt. I need a new bathing suit though. Not so much fun shopping at this size. I realized that I have transferred my shopping habit to my son's closet. We share a fairly large walk in closet, and 2 dressers. He has 3/4's of the closet and a dresser, plus 1 drawer in my dresser. I'm going to stock up on his clothes now so that when I lose weight I won't feel guilty shopping for myself lol! He's 8 how much could he possible need right!?!  I also love to coupon, but it's been so hard for me to get around to different stores or get from store to store for the best deals. And I REFUSE to ride in those scooters. My mom told me once, "your getting so big your going to be riding around in a Hover Round soon!" What a bitch. I have to take responsibility for my fat, for getting to the point I am now, but I feel like she dangle the carrot (donut) in my face the whole way. Of coarse she never has had much of a weight problem, so how would she understand. She's just not very nice. A few weeks ago she invited my uncle who molested me as a child to a family dinner and didn't tell me. I showed up and there he was. Wow, that was one of the worst  few weeks of my life. I thought I was going to lose it. One day I would love to just break away from her completely. I have done a great job so far, I was living with her. That was a 4 year nightmare, I feel as if I have just woken up from. This surgery is a step to me gaining complete independince. Not being able to work, I am financially dependent on her. Some days it is hard to stay positive and do whats best for me and my son. But I have to remember that I deserve this and most of all my son does. It's hard to believe, I think  there is a sort of self-hate that goes along with obesity , or at least mine. I think I have been trying to kill myself since I was 17. Not suicidal, but by doing dangerous things, abusive relationships, drinking myself into a stupor every night, drugs, and eating myself to death. If nobody else cared why should I. I can promise my son will never feel unloved a day in his life.
