Hi, this is my first post. i am soon to be 63 years old. i am 5 ft. 2 inches tall and weigh, gulp, 192. i am miserable. i have high blood pressure, diabetes, athritis, thyroid problems, eye problems, etc. in other words, i am not in very good shape to say the least. i have been on every eating plan i do believe, but it never lasts. i feel that if i do not get this weight off that i will not be around much longer. i am ashamed of my looks and do not like to go anyplace. i also do not feel like going anyplace. i have a wonderful, handsome husband who is very supportive.
i also have some bad habits. i smoke. i drink wine. i am a couch potato. it hurts to walk. i get out of breath so quickly. i also have sleep apnea, so i feel tired most of the time.
anyway, i just wanted to say hello to others that will probably understand what i am feeling.
since i am considering the lap band procedure, i want to read through the threads and get an idea what to expect.
thanks for your help.
sincerely,
buttcha
