I have been overweight most of my adult life, my highest weight was 344lbs in january of 09. I was tired of feeling tired and unable to get around. i have hypothyroid which caused me to gain weight, i just wasnt taking care of myself. i went to the doctor in january of 09 saw my weight and was shocked, i know i let myself go and i was so mad at myself. i had sleep apnea, high cholesterol but with my doctors help i started losing weight and by april i had lost 25 pounds. well my husband being military we had orders to md in june so of course not sticking to my diet i gained almost fifteen pounds back. come october09 i decided enough was enough and went and saw my pcm in md and inquired about lapband surgery. i dont think she had faith in me because i had a history of not taking my meds or myself but i proved her wrong. i started the process on oct 22 2009 had to go through all kinds of tests, go to nutrition classes for 6 mos(which basically saved me) i learned how to eat and since then i have lost over 60 lbs. i was approved for surgery on june 18 2010 and my surgery is july 16. i am currently doing the preop diet whch consists of protein shakes, yougurt, sfjello and pudding and lots of water. i am very excited to finally be getting this surgery, i have waited so long for this. i truly look at food in a different way now. theres no going back, i want to live and be happy.
