I am 5'9" and weigh 290 lbs. I have been overweight since giving birth 5 times. I was thin my whole life which is the opposite of most. The last time I gave birth was 2001. So I have no more time to make excuses.
I decided after many failed weight loss plans to give it one year to lose the weight or have surgery. I went on a diet and joined a gym. I lost 40lbs. But have since gained it back and then some. So in April 2011 I contacted the surgeon. Have completed all required dr. visits and have gotten approval from the health ins co.( I have NJ direct and it took 10 days for approval). I am scheduled for surgery on June 28th. I have less then 2 weeks before I go on to the meal replacement protein shake diet.
As much as I am so very excited about the future, I am mourning food. I want to eat so many things over the next 2 weeks knowing I will be saying goodbye to those types and amounts of food. Not sure if that's normal or not.
