I been struggling with weight for I would say probably since my early 20's when I was in a committed relationship that would last from the naive age of 20 to the wise age of 29. We would go out to eat all the time very big meals steaks with all the trimmings and pizza, trying every restaurant in the area where we lived. Then on weekends have the big family meals that if you didn’t eat, the person preparing would feel offended. My weight started 145 lbs. and at the end was up to 175 lbs. The weight loss also consisted of eating out during the week at my job that was too convenient to order out and "eat on the run”.
It is now 2015 , my weight is at a sad weight of 222 lbs., I am a candidate for gastric sleeve, I had my with all my doctors to get my permission for surgery, meet with a dietician , and scared because I been trying her suggestions and only lost 2lbs , Still have to the psych evaluation, mammogram and surgery consult. I guess I am writing this today because I just want to know I am not alone in my struggles. God Bless all who read this and give me inspiration and courage to go on (Yes, I have strong family support). Is everyone having the struggle to lose the weight that started slowly and didn’t look big at first and then when look at pictures can see the true picture of what others see ?
