hello my name is phyllis..i live in southern california...ive been overweight my whole life with the highest being 300lbs. my mother first got her surgery 3 1/2 yrs ago..i was so agaisnt it at the time but now im totally for it..i secretly saw the doctor and enrolled myself into classes so i could get the gastric bypass...those 24weeks were the hardest ever for me..cuz even though i was always a chunky chic i never really let it get to me..until i started gaining more weight at work..workin for a hospital is no joke..tell me why there is always a pot luck!?..lol...
the 24week classes were just okay..i could of had a better experience but the instuctor insisted that we gained out weight because of our past which was a load of shit..but he still got to me..it was just so hard for me..i graduated in DEC.07...and my surgery date was FEB.08
i went into surgery weighing in at 250....today is 04/15/08 and im weighing in at 207..im a happy to a certain extent..im learning not everyone is goin to be behind 100%..and ppl are goin to come in and out of ur life...im gettin a attetion i never really got..its getting a lil hard to cope..but im doin it...im not really eating like im supposed to but i do get my vitamins and protein in everyday.....lately ive been getting guilty trips about trying new food..WHY?..i have no clue!..but i know there are sum people who are in the same boat and yesterday i had my 1month visit from my doctor and she told me about this site..so hopefully i could talk with more people are goin throught the same stuff as me!!...
