Getting Healthy1383837803 2 Posted October 26, 2013 My surgery is Tuesday the 29th. I am getting excited and nervous, but the excitement of being healthy sure out ways the nerves. It's taken 25 years to get from 159 to 264. I am 5 foot 8 and everyone cannot believe I weigh this. Little by little it just sneaks up on you. My doctor told me not long ago, if I did not get this weight off I might not make it to 62. I am 57 now. I had to take a trip and got into my seat and the belt almost did not fit. I was so thankful I did not have to ask for an extension. With that it was enough is enough. My husband has always said he loves me no matter what but he knows how miserable I am. He says I look uncomfortable in my cloths. I will so excited to get rid of a lot of the medications. I have always enjoyed food and portions just seem to increase. I am taking back my life. Food will no longer control me. 1 Numenow reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
