Hi Ladies,
I haven't had any surgery yet but I am wanting peoples opinions or experiences if that's okay. I am a 35 year old single Mum, I'm about 70kg overweight, my daughter is 8 years old and is over weight for her age group.
I am in the process of being referred to a specialist to discuss weight loss surgery but I am really stuck in my thinking on how this will effect my daughter. On the positive side if I had the surgery and lost weight I would be active, healthier and more outgoing and be a healthier example to my daughter (food/weight/exercise wise). But I'm also thinking if I have the surgery and my daughter then sees the tiny portions that I could eat afterwards it may have a negative impact on her and her eating? Tell me if I'm overthinking this - cause I know I could be for sure lol.
I'm so stuck thinking I should try and lose the weight naturally again - (I have been overweight most of my life and dieted most of my life too). Or I should bite the bullet and go for surgery. I'm unsure if one sets a better example than the other?
Please don't anyone be offended by my post. I'm not wanting to sound like im judging ladies on here because I truely am not.. I just want your opinions please if that's okay.
Thanks Everyone,
Kim x
