So, I've been dieting for 24 of my almost 36 years on the planet. I've been heavy, heavier, and now I'm at my heaviest. I have a blessed life. I have an AMAZING husband, two beautiful little boys, and the best job ever as a stay-at-home mom. What I don't have is energy. I don't have days without pain from rheumatoid and osteoarthritis. I do have a family history of diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and cancer. Some of those things are on both sides of the family. It's like I should just walk in for my yearly physical and get right down to things by saying to the doctor, "So . . . how long do I have?"
Quite frankly, I am sick and tired of being sick and tired. I don't feel losing the weight is something I can do by myself with just ONE MORE DIET. I really believe that WLS will give me the edge I need to be more in control, to stay on top of what I eat, and to be more conscientious of where, when, and how I put things in my mouth.
