Moving Things Along

Sep 29, 2011

Hello everyone, I haven't blogged in so long. A lot has happened since my last post in April of this year. I was bullied in college and retaliated leaving me suspended from the university until January 2012, my PCOS has gotten worse, my ex-boyfriend who I am still in love with and was still seeing and speaking to has moved to China, I have been homeless, I am unemployed, my depression has spiraled out of control, and I was diagnosed with Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension. So yeah, I have had a pretty eventful 5 months or so. I have changed some of my doctors and I finally got a consultation with a surgeon that takes my insurance (YAY!!!!!). Right now I weigh between 240 and 245 lbs. depending on the day and time of month. There are times that I can go up to 250 lbs. I know some of you may be thinking "that isn't much." I tried diet and exercise, I tried weight loss pills, I tried seeing a nutritionist, I got checked for thyroid issues, oh and the best part is that I no longer can exercise. For about 2 years I have dealt with the debilitating dizzy spells, nausea, headaches, faintness, fatigue, and various symptoms of idiopathic intracranial hypertension without knowing. Every time I would try to exercise, I would feel like fainting. I would have to sit down for ten minutes to wait for the dizziness, faintness, and balance issues to subside. Exercising is like h&** for me. Right now my only option is to have this surgery, and I finally have all of my doctors on the same page as me.
