Im 42. and currently at 304 lbs have to loose 3 lbs before surgery. I have been obese my entire life. im concearned about taking meds. I take quite a few. so im worried about being able to take them at surgery time.
A little about my eating habits. It takes large amount of food to get to the full feeling. what did it for me is when I ate 2 ribeye steaks and still ate a huge salad, beans, fries, and ice cream for desert.
im going to blog about my experience. I have found a few others with hiv on here, and hopefully if you are hiv, I know how scared you are right now. I am too. My surgery is Nov 6th. and all I stress about is being able to take the meds.
I also survived brain surgery, and if I can do that, I can to this.
