Hello OH,
I can't belive it.
I about to have gastric bypass surgery!!!!!!!!!
I have been heavy my entire life. I have never been skinny but I have been more physically fit than I am now. I am now 308lbs and 5 foot 8 inches. ...I can't believe I am telling the world my true weight.
My typical weight was about 250 before the twins but after the twins I ballooned up to 300 and stayed there. I will say that the weigh gain was not the result of having them but rather I gained weight from trying to manage my priorities and not making my health a priority.
I have tired to get the weight off and I have been successful a couple times losing 20 lbs or so but nothing significant. And.....the weight always comes back. I am now making myself and my health a priority because I want to be healthy for me and role model for my children. I AM TIRED OF BEING FAT!
My surgery date is 12/13. I am so excited but nervous at the same time. I can't believe I am actually doing this. I have been thinking about this since 2008 and I am finally doing it.
I am setting up a profiles so I can meet others like me as I embark on this new journey of my life.
AGAIN I CAN"T BELIEVE I ABOUT TO HAVE SURGERY!!!!!!!!!
P.S.
Preparing for surgery has not been the easies thing. I have given up soda. I use to be able to drink 2 or 3 20oz of diet coke or diet dr pepper along with drinking coffee. WOW!
I have reduced my caloric intake. Tommrrow I start my seven day clear liquid diet. That too will be mind over matter situation.
I need to workout. That is my goal this week along with staying on the clear liquid diet. I moved my treadmill into my living room. I need to just use it. I let my kids play on it. I just need to be like Nike and Just do it too! LOL!
