Hi, I am new to this site, and I am instantly addicted. you guys are awesome. Well, to introduce myself, I am a 31 yo married with 3 kids and have spent i am sure millions in the diet industry ha-ha . I am 234 lbs. and am 5'3". I am really disgusted with all the weight I have gained over the years. Iam also upset that everything that taste good is always off limits. I consider myself a yoyo dieter, I mean I have tried it all! I am considering the lapband surgery and have my first info session on June 28 then will set up my first consult with surgeon. My husband is very suppotyive and just wants me to find something that will work for me so that I can be happy and enjoy life again. You know you get to the point where enough is enough. I am tired of skipping out on things because I have a distorted body image of myself. I mean don't get me wrong when I need to be fierce, I get fierce. But I would love to tuck my shirt in again. Know what I mean. I have been consistently gaining weight since my first year of college.
At age 16, I had my son and I had an implant placed called a "norplant", a form of birthcontrol that last for 5 years. This thing caused my apetite to sore, and I went from 150lbs to 185lbs in 3yrs. For a 19 yo that is alot. I also met my husband then and that meant eating out all the time. Ofcourse he was super skinny, and is just now at 180lbs after 10 ys of marriage
. The stress of bills only makes matters worse and being in nursing school. I have been an RN now for 8yr and I work the night shift and we eat all the time to keep awake. I am pretty healthy besides being overweight and short of breath with 5 steps- haha. I do have ^cholesterol and joint issues, but that is about it.
So I will keep all informed as you guys once again follow another person into the "twilight zone" of the approval process. Peace out.
