Bumble B
My name is Marisa and I am 27 years old. Unlike many people that I have read about on this site, I have not been big my whole life. I was always the type that could eat anything I wanted and never gain an ounce. That all changed a few years ago. My story begins when I got pregnant with my son. I gained 70 pounds during the pregnancy. I lost 40-50 pounds within a year of giving birth by just walking a lot. Then I got pregnant with my daughter. Add another 70 pounds.....Only this time it doesn't come off so easily. My daughter is now 5 and I weigh more than I did when I was pregnant! I have tried everything......NutraSystem, Atkins, South Beach, Weight Watchers. They are all good diets, but not for me. I would loose 20-30 pounds and thats it. Then I would end up putting what I lost and more back on. It is very frustrating. So here I am.....I feel like the WLS is the right thing to do. And the journey begins......
