So I turned 38 in October and realized that I have been fat all of my life, and figured that was enough time being the fat girl. besides it wasn't fun any more. I have been having a hard time getting pregnant, I have the starts of diabetes, and my blood pressure is creeping up. I don't want to die early. I really want to have a baby. And skinny looks like so much fun sometimes. So here I go....I started searching online and found a surgeon in my area with a great reputation and decided this is what I am going to do. I tried lots of things before..gained 17 pounds on the cabbage soup diet, lost four (yes 4) pounds on Jenny, gained lots of gas but lost no weight on Slimfast, lost 50 pounds on Phen-fen only to have a dietician tell me I don't eat enough....who tells a fat girl you don't eat enough???!!!! Anyways, you get the picture...what did work was atkins lost 60 pounds and kept it off for two years then I got married and TaDa all the weight came back with some friends........
Now I am on atkins again for my pre-surgery weight loss, I have all my appointment set up for the next 3 months and have lost 16 pounds so far (in only 3 weeks).........
