Describe your behavioral and emotional battle with weight control before learning about bariatric surgery.

I have been overweight for as long as I can remember. I don't believe I have ever had a healthy relationship with food. Depression, being the overweight funny girl to fit in. I have always tried to be as active as I can, but it was never easy. In 2011 I had my gallbladder removed, the doctor told me on the inside my fat content made me a solid, I had fat hanging off of everything, and I needed to seriously consider doing something about my weight. I have tried every diet under the sun. I've lost some, gained some, ate some awesome food, a lot of junk food. Ate to feel, to fill a void, the list goes on. I have a very unhealthy relationship with food, and when I did get serious about changing my life, I was informed my metabolism wouldn't allow it, my body wasn't in fat burning mode. My only option was bariatric surgery. So the process began 02/13, surgery date 6/4/13 starting weight 275 on dos. Here we go! Lets save a life!

What was (is) the worst thing about being overweight?

Being restricted at life

If you have had weight loss surgery already, what things do you most enjoy doing now that you weren't able to do before?
