I'm sure my story is the same as most others with just a few exceptions. I've been struggling with my weight for the past 18 years. Before I had my daughter (the light of my life) I weighed about 135. I gained my weight while pregnant then more during my divorce from her father and just never could it back off.
I tried all the diets out there - Weight Watchers, Metabolife, E'ola, Slimfast, all the diet pills hawked on TV as miracles, all liquid protein (that worked for a while but put me in the hospital as my body couldn't process the amount of straight powder protein I was on with no other nutrition), and most recently NoDiet.com.
My husband had a Roux-En-Y surgery 11/30/09. The changes and transformation for him have been nothing short of a miracle and I am so inspired by him that I have scheduled my op! At his suggestion, I visited this site to learn about the ups and downs and gain insight into what I am getting myself into as his trip has been fairly easy, by all standards. You can see more of his progress on his profile at eyezz_of_blue (he's on my friends list also, of course!).
