Hi- I am new to this whole thing. I only began having a serious weight problem about 4years ago, although I've always struggled, I had never been over a size 12....Then I hit 40 and everything changed..I also was put on medications and that had an effect. I had normally been between 150-170 pounds tops and I could live with that...now, for the first time, I am about 215 lbs and I am only 5'1"....I just got my surgery date, June 29th, and I find myself desperate to eat as much as possible sinc I know that I wont be able to eat normal for a long time
