Describe your behavioral and emotional battle with weight control before learning about bariatric surgery.
I was always fighting to lose weight. As a young child I was the middle child with an older sister and younger brother. My mother would give me a bag of chips to make me feel better. When I was happy I was eating when I was sad I was eating. By the Sixth grade I was weighing 168 pounds. And being 5'2 it really showed. The summer before Seventh grade my mother and I went to a weight loss doctor. We had the injections (have no idea what it was) and diet pills. That summer I went from 168 to 123. So my Jr High and all of High School I was a normal weight. I met my husband the year before I graduated High School. We were engaged and married in less than a year of meeting.

6 weeks post op
on November 10, 2011 6:53 pm
had my 6 week check up today. So far I've lost 35 pounds. Wish it was more. But happy I lost and didn't gain. Usually about now I would have given up on the diet and had gained all I had lost back PLUS. Today I went out for the first time and walked around the subdivision. I was actually able to walk the full mile. And I was walking fast. I hope to keep doing this 3 or 4 times a week. I feel so much better with out the three 10pound sacks of potatoes and 5 pound bag of Sugar holding me down.  My protein levels and vitamin B was very low. So Now I have to make myself drink those nasty protein drinks. Lord Help Me!
