Hi, I'm Laurel. I'm 29 and I getting ready to make a drastic change. I wiegh 210 lbs and I'm 5'3".
My BMI is 37. I have been approved for surgery due to high blood pressure and several other comorbidities.
I have been overwieght all my life and have been very overwieght for about 6yrs. I have tried many diets and I always loose motivtion as my hunger for food overwhelms the motivtion.. A LOT. Now I know this is NO WAY an easy way out
but I do feel I will benefit from the restriction the sleeve causes. Also when I do something I do it by the book.
After all the stuff I've read I'm going to be TOO scared to eat anything they say not to eat! I mean thats a pretty good motivation I don't want to puke so I better be good right? I know I will need to excercise more and it's going to be very hard. I'm ready! Bring it on. Some people tell me well your not 300lbs so you don't need this! So what should I wait till I'm three hundred lbs because I've gained more wt each yr even though half of the year I'm dieting!I feel thats where I'm headed and I want it to stop now! Yes I can loose wt by excercising like a maniac, but the motivation has to be very strong and it doesn't ever last. I believe the sleeve will be my tool--my motivation. After I go through surgery and liquid diets and all the hard stuff I don't think there would be a chance that I'd let myself ruin all that hard work!

WHAT DO YOU THINK????? MESSAGE ME AND LET ME KNOW!!!!
