Hi Everyone,I am new to this so please forgive me if I am long winded ,lol.. My name is Daniella and I am over weight by ALOT,its been very hard to loose it and keep it off,I just lost 48 pounds over the winter and I put it all back on ,plus some. I have decide to get help,I can see that I just cant do it myself,I am a binge eater, I have always kept it to myself,I get up after hubby goes to bed and eat,I and eat. I have depression,I am also Bi-Polar 2,I cant fix my mental state but being over weight, tired ,you can fix that..I dont sleep,I am up 2 to 3 days at a time,being over wight has cause my health to go down hill. I am now having problems with my knees from my weight,I am short also 4"11 ,yes I am tall,lol (JK) . SO I have decided to take my first step,I called my local bariactric hospital and set and appointment, I am set to go in November 2 for a consultation and a video.. I am excited but kinda nervous . I just wanna be healthy and learn to control my weight and ,I wanna like myself.. I wanna be able to look at me from the floor up not from the neck up. I ask myself,is this me,what did I do to myself? I wanna look at me and say YES this is me,I am now healthy and this is what I should be. I hope I am able to get the help i need to have a new look on life. This is my start of my journey , I would love to know what kind of steps that are needed to be taken before the surgery is done,any special diets? Thank you ahead of time.
