I am 36 yrs old. I have been "chunky" my whole life. I played sports in high school and college (intramural) and some city adult leagues after that. I have been on weight watchers a few times and lost 25-60lbs I gained it all back and more. I did Jenny Craig and lost about 30lbs and gained it all back... quick weightloss.. same thing. Each time I get bigger and bigger.
My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for about two years. I lost some weight at the begining of the journey but 2 surgeries, 2 IUI's, and 2 IVF's (ended in miscarriage and ecoptic) I have eaten myself into someone I dont want to be anymore! We recently decided to not continue with fertility treatments. They are too expensive with no guarantee and too emotionally and physically draining. So we decided to adopt. As I am completing our paperwork I got to thinking that there is no way I can chase a toddler around the house!! I am too fat!! My knees hurt, my back hurts, everything hurts.. so I went to see my RE and he recommended Gastric Sleeve and here I am!
I am now at 298lbs and I REFUSE to hit 300lbs!! I have started walking and eating right but I still need to do something as I am tired of being a yo-yo and I want to prepare for my babies! So my options are to go on a diet which may get me down to a reasonable weight... or do Gastric Sleeve now while I do not have kids.. I can take time off work.. AND I am still young! So just looking for thoughts and experiences...
