Describe your behavioral and emotional battle with weight control before learning about bariatric surgery.
I have battle with weight all my life. I tried lossing weight in so many differenent way pill starving my self only eatting certain things and failed and fail I went to the Doctors u happy about my self and they said what about bariatric surgery i wasn't going to do that because i though I can't do this i'm not strong enough. well after Looking at my self in the mirror a couple times and hated what i saw I just start covering up the mirror so i didn't ever have to see my self, I stop Dressing nice and went from jean to sweat pants to, I let the Battle or weight control take over me and not i'm putting a stop to that...
What was (is) the worst thing about being overweight?
To me the worst part of being over weight is that when my boys would want to go outside and play i would hate going out side because "fat people and heat don't mix" its hard for me to run around with my little ones and sit on the floor with them or run outside or go on slides or swings or going swimming i though people would look at me like EW or Gross and so i just stop doing think like that//
If you have had weight loss surgery already, what things do you most enjoy doing now that you weren't able to do before?
i just had wieght loss surgery on 4/24/13 and i'm excited about a lot of things when i start looking the weight
1. Running around with my boys
2. Sitting on the floor longer then 2 mins.
3.Feeling good about my self
4. Feeling good about SEX ( i know i know) but its true hated having sex because i didnt' think i was pretty enough for my husband.
and many many more things i wasn't ever able to do.
