I have been big all my life. I don't ever remember being small. I may have not weighed what I weigh now ,but I was still obese. I always looked nice and dress nice, kept up with myself. Now that I am older my health is not good .I need to get all this weight off of me. I have tried dieting over and over. This last one ,just last year I lost as much as 55 lbs. I started at 325. I was doing good until it stopped. I was doing the Mayo Clinic Diet on my own and following it completely I was suppose to lose 52 lbs in 2 1/2 mos. but that didn't happen. Although I was losing it was going slow, but then the thyroid play a big part in weight loss. When you are hypothyroidism it is almost impossible to lose. I haven't gain all that I lost ,but I did gain some and it fluctuates between 280 and 290. Although i have gotten in the 270's I never could get out and needed to do something . I could see this wasn't going to work either. And then, I was beginning to have a problem drinking the grapefruit juice or eating the grapefruit. I have been checking in to weight loss surgery for years but could never get in. This time , thank God for Dr. Chung. He will be doing my surgery in september. I am so excited and although I have been reading everything on the different surgeries there is no real comfirmation like some one who have gone thru it. Everyone is not the same and won't experience the same but some feed back would help. I am having the Vertical Sleeve . If there is anyone out there who can give me some insight on it please comment . Or even the Gastric Bypass. Some input would be appreciated. Looking so forward to my challenge.
