A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF. I AM VERY MUCH IN LOVE WITH MY HUSBAND OF TWO YEARS WHO HAS BEEN VERY SUPPORTIVE OF THIS WHOLE PROCESS. WE HAVEN'T STARTED A FAMILY BUT ARE THE PROUD PARENTS OF TWO SPOILED LAP DOGS. SQUIRT THE YORKIE AND BUSTER THE MUTT ARE THEIR NAMES.
I AM SO READY TO START A NEW CHAPTER IN MY LIFE. I HAVE ALREADY STARTED MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY CHANGING MY LIFE STYLES TO HELP ME PREPARE AND COPE PRE AND POST OP. I FEW THINGS THAT I HAVE DONE INCLUDE QUITTING SMOKING, JOINING A GYM,EXERCISE 4-5 TIMES A WEEK, EXPERIMENTING AND INCORPORATING PROTEIN SHAKES INTO MY DIET. ATTEMPTING TO EAT A LOW CARB/ SUGAR-FREE DIET. READING LABELS. EXPERIMENTING WITH MANY DIFFERENT RECIPES FROM RECIPES BOOKS SPECIFICALLY AIMED FOR POST-OP WLS PATIENTS AND TO BE HONEST WITH YOU. 90 PERCENT OF THE RECIPES WHERE YUMMY!
I HAVE SPENT MANY YEARS RESEARCHING EXTENSIVELY THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF SURGERY. MANY HOURS SPENT ON THE COMPUTER AND ABOUT FOUR DIFFERENT BOOKS READ. I AM LEANING HAVING THE LAP BAND PROCEDURE DONE, BUT THIS WILL HAVE TO BE DISCUSSED WITH THE SURGEON WHEN I MEET WITH HIM AND OF COURSE HE ALWAYS KNOWS BEST.
MY WEIGHT LOSS STORY BEGINS AND SOUNDS LIKE A LOT OF THE STORIES THAT I HAVE READ IN THE PAST. I HAVE BEEN OVERWEIGHT MY WHOLE LIFE. EACH TIME I LOSE THE WEIGHT IT COMES BACK ON PLUS MUCH MORE.IT THE YO YO THING!!! MY HIGHEST WEIGHT EVER RECORDED WAS 283 POUNDS BUT I THINK I MAY HAVE BEEN HEAVIER THAN THAT AT ONE TIME. I AM 5'3 WHICH AT THAT TIME MY BMI WAS 50. I WEIGH 267 WITH A BMI OF 47.8 AND SLIMMING DOWN SLOWLY. I WILL KEEP YOU POSTED ON MY JOURNEY.
