I have struggled with my weight my entire life. After my first divorce I went from 264 lbs to 150 and met the man of my dreams. We have been married 22 years and I have a 19 yr old son. All; my life;I have been on many;diets, lost weight, gained weight, but now I do not cannot do it by myself anymore. I was 180 pounds when I got pregnant in 1991, 234 when I had him in March 1992. Lost down to 175 when he was 2 yrs old. then went back up to 202. Moved to MS in May of 1997 weighing 212 in 2001 I lost my son from my first marriage and I weighed 240. Every year I seem to add another 5 pounds. In 2005 I weighed 265 and got hired on at a bank, so now I sit most of the day and my job requires me to work alot of hours. usually from 8 am to 7 pm and then I am too tired to go to the gym. In May I hit 306 and now I am currently at 292 pounds. I have chosen this journey mostly because I know it will force me to eat the right food, in the right portions and also make me exercise. I want to get back down to 150. I know it will be a long journey, after all it took years for me to pack these pounds on. But I love boating with my husband and I am tired of being embarrassed because I can barely fit into a seat at the movie theater, airplane or even climb up the ladder on the back side of the boat. I am sure that is a site!!! I have had a long path the last 6 months trying to get to the day when I;know i will actually get this surgery, so I am starting my preop liquid diet today and look forward to my appointment on monday to schedule the surgery for December.
