With just under a month before my surgery, I am joining OH! I have been researchimg WLS for over a year. I have been obese all my life. I joke saying I went from a size 14 in girls to a size 14 in juniors. Seriously, I did. I weighed what I weigh now in high school but I was a couple inches shorter. I got into a car accident when I was 16 and I had to have my teeth wired for 6 months. I lost 60 lbs and it has taken 18 years to gain it all back, but I have and now that I am older it is very hard to come off. In my 20s I would do weight watchers or adkins and take a quick 20 off and be good for another year. In my 30s it seemed like nutrisystem worked best, but even now I can't seem to follow it. The food was starting to taste nasty, I was hungry and so I ate. I would say the main reason why I am obese is because I stay hungry! I enjoy life to the fullest and am interested in staying happy. Right now its food that seems to make me happy. I am soooo looking forward to this journey and what it has in store. Six months from now I wonder what will make me happy in place of food? I'm looking forward to the surgery, the opportunity to start my eating habits over from scratch, yet knowing what I know now. What a chance in a lifetime!
