I am 23 years old and have been big my whole life. Growing up i was always in the 99th percentile. I didnt really start to gain extreme weight until high school when i started eating a lot of chips and soda. I was raised a vegetarian so my diet consisted of a lot of carbs and not to many meats. I decided to get banded this past summer because i cant seem to keep weight off. I lost 35 lbs before my surgery and 12 since. The reason i am joining this sight is because this is very hard for me mentally/emotionally. The doctors dont really talk about this so i am looking for some support.
