  1. My fiance's family doesn't even believe that I weight over 300lbs, but I am tall, so my weight doesn't look that high. I think its sweet that they don't think I need it, but they are supportive none the less. They know I am having trouble having a baby, and they want the best for me and my fiance. I was always teased as the "fat one" and always felt out of place next to my skinny best friends. My main reason though, that I make sure to tell everyone is that I am doing it for my health, at 22 I already have high blood pressure that I take meds for, and I just got perscribed metformin for insulin resistance. If I know its an issue now, why wait for later, when it will only get worse!

    Salad Dressing

    I use the wishbone spray dressing in the ranch. Ranch is always my go to, and this tastes great but has 15 cal per 10 sprays, with less than 1 gram of sugar.
  3. I got really depressed about it in the beginning because as a woman its like "If i can't do the one thing I was made to do, what kind of woman am I?" But I focused the thoughts towards solutions instead. I have to say though I am trying so hard to watch what I eat and loose weight like the classes recommend, but it is insanely hard!
  4. I want to be more active and do more activities, like camping, hiking, biking. I want to like clothes shopping, and not getting all frustrated and sweaty just trying pair of pants after pair that don't fit. I want to be able to go to any store I want and get clothes that I know will fit. I want to be able to go to amusement parks with my fiance and not a.) worry about not getting the bar to go down and click and b.) be able to share a ride with my fiance and not worry he will fall out since it takes him 5 clicks to make his tight and 1 for me. I want to skydive, and do adventurous things. The main thing is I want to loose weight so that I can join the Air Force, and the biggest most important thing I want to gain from this is: Being able to have a child. We have been trying for 2 1/2 years and found out i have PCOS, so I am going to infertility alongside the surgery classes. The greatest achievement would be to have children and raise them in a healthy, active environment.
  5. In the mandatory class for the surgery, the instructor was saying that they do not recommend the lap bad for people. Also he said they have more people coming in to take it off then they have putting them on. In addition he also said that they only last about 10 years, as it can break.
