Hi, I'm Lisa. I am a 41 yr old mom of three. I have been overweight forever. I have never been thin. I have lost weight but I have never been thin. I have tried every diet known to man and nothing has kept the weight off. I lost the most weight on the low carb diet but about three years ago my life was turned upside down and I gained it ALL back. I had come the conclusion that I was just gonna have to accept myself the way I am. FAT. Well I couldn't live with that either so I finally asked my dr for a referral for gastric bypass. I didn't think it was gonna happen. I had fooled myself into believing that I wasn't big enough. What a joke.
I got the referral in December. Started my 6 month nutrition classes in January and met with my surgeon for the first time in early March. I am scheduled for surgery May 6.
I am 5'1" and 226. My hightest weight has been 243 and was 237 at the time of my referral. I have no idea what a good goal weight is. I would love to say 130 but that seems soooo small to me. I cant imagine it.
