Hello I am April from KY! I have not had surgery yet, but I am seriously considering all of this. I have always had a problem with being overweight, except for a couple of years there right towards the end of high school. Then I got pregnant and my weight skyrocketed again. It has went up since then and I am at 265lbs. I am around 5'8. It does average out a little better but I would love to get down under 200. I would honestly be happy with 185. When I weighed that much, I was alot happier. Clothes were easier to get, shoes were easier to buy because my feet have stretched along with my butt.
I seriously need to get something done. I have terrible back pain and cant do alot of exercise other than household chores to lose weight. How many times can you seriously vacuum the floor in a day's time to lose calories? I would more than likely burn up the motor. After about 10 minutes of standing, I have to sit down or I am screaming.
I want to be healthier for my husband. He has no problem losing weight, of course not he is a man LOL. He went to work and dropped almost 30 lbs. He can cut back on one thing and boom another 10lbs gone..He says that I look fine but if I wanted to lose weight to make myself happy, that he supports me. So I have the support there.
I have been drug free for two years, so this is something else that I think will lift me to the place in life that I need to be. I just really want to be able to get back to the smaller clothes section of stores, I dont care if its the largest size there but I just hate the fact that I used to be a size 8 slim and now I am a 22/24. If I had my muffin top gone and my hips were just a bit smaller, I think I would be able to slide down a size. My back is hurting worse every day, it is never going to get any better. I have also noticed problems with just doing normal things like bending over to tie shoes, when I get back I feel like someone has cut off my air. I think my BMI is 39.9 from what the website thing showed me. I hope that it doesn't sound selfish to just want to lose weight to be able to wear smaller clothes because that really isnt all. I just miss the skinny me.
I also have a serious addiction to Pepsi, something that I know if I could just get rid of I would lose some weight. I am just new to all of this. We are also having fertility problems, I have heard that if you are obese that it can add to the problems of not conceiving. We have been trying for five years and nothing. If I lost some of the weight and got pregnant, my life would be complete. I would be very happy, I am with the person that I will die with which not many can say without some doubt. My relationship is perfect, just got to get some weight off. I really hope that I dont come off shallow, I think we all have our own reasons for wanting to lose the weight.
