My story? well i was dx as bipolar when i was 17 they put me on medication that slowed my metabolism. drastically. And made me hungry all the time. it was terrible, as i aged i just slowly but surely put on weight. pound by excruciating pound any efforts to waylay the weight were met by little or no sucess. or immediate regain and then some. starvation just didtn work for me. Every time they changed my medication i would see a radical jump in my weigth. the last time about 40 lbs that was about 2009 to 311 pounds i have lost and gained since then my lowest was 285. i am up again to 299. very frustrating
i need a lifestyle change. i am 38 now and my partner is so worried about me. i am 299 pounds. it is just too much. i am hearbroken that i am worrying my loved ones so much.I have been to see a weight loss doctor for a few years. after he looked at my case, spent 3 years trying various things, he said, bariatric surgery is really my only option. I realize that to lose this weight i am goign to need all the support i can get. It was looking for Bariatric info that i found this site, following the rabbit hole from pinterest. I have been through most of the pre op program at Toronto Western and am hoping that my constant tracking (thank you My fitness pal) and my studious research will be enough of a comittment (as well as stopping the pop alcohol and eating 3 meals a day and snacks) to get me to the See a surgon portion o the pre op. it is hard not to scale back and be "good" cause i know it will be reviewed. but i am trying to show her my real eating habits.
As well, i am due for a major reconstructive knee surgery. that was supposed to be this winter too. but my psychiatrist has advised i wait a few months between surgeries. I have biomechanical failure in my knees., so i walk with a cane. and it is hard to excercise. one of the things i will have to figure out when i have my bariatric.
So thats a little bit (maybe a lot) about me.
