I am 41 years old and have been overweight since I was about 12 years old. Once puberty struck it was all over. I was always the best friend who had a lot of male friends but no boyfriends. As I went to high school I reached 200lbs and at 5 feet it was no picnic. I eventually got down to 133 lbs which I was okay with. I was able to keep my weight at 133 for 5 years. ( it was not easy) Then after a few rocky relationships I met the man of my dreams, my husband. He loved me for who I was and as he also was a big eater and need less to say the weight started packing on.
For the past 16 years I have been the ultimate yo-yo dieter. I always seem to lose about 30lbs and it takes me about 1 1/2 years to put it all back on.
I am hoping to have surgery soon. I will be going for the RNY which I am terrified and excited about at the same time.
My sister had WLS about 3 1/2 years ago and has done great! I can only hope that I do as well as her.
