Hello all,
I just wanted to introduce myself to everyone. My name is Nicole. I'm 27 years old. I decided to get Gastric Bypass in April of 2011. I have tried to lose weight for a long time. I have been obese almost my whole life. I started my journey at 360.5 lbs. I am 5 10". I feel as thoug my weight hinders my life. There is a bias against obese people. I feel as though my weight hinders my socially and porfessionally. I feel like it makes me shy and timid, when really I should be more outgoing. I'm hoping to truely make a life change.
I want to obtain healthy eating skills, get rid of bad habits, get in the routine of exercise. I have to admit I would also love to have the soical benefits of being a smaller person such as being seen instead of ignored, and definately increasing my dating life. I feel kind of weird when I hear people saying after wls friendships and relationships change.
Nonetheless, I am looking forward to going full force into this journey. My biggest fears: complications, excess skin, changing relationships & weight loss failure.
I'm always open to info and advice for people who have been there.
Thanks for reading and good luck in all your journeys.
