I am 33 years old and am currently on day 2 of my liquid/pre-op diet. I will be on this diet for 7 days total days and will be having VSG surgery on Tuesday, June 18th, 2013.
I have a BMI of 51.6 and my overall goal is to be a healthy weight. I have been overweight my entire life. I was an only child until I was 4 so I got to have everything I wanted and unfortunately that meant all the food I wanted! Anything and everything! So I think that is where my eating habits started. I remember us eating a Pizza Hut one time..I think I was like 6-7. I saw a few pieces of pizza left and I told everyone, "You're not eating that anymore right? ...the rest is mine!" LOL I was soooo bad!
I was a chunk growing up until I was 16. I got my first job and worked at the 50 off store from 9am-9pm! Making 4.25 an hour and living the life! I loved to work and cashing my lil' ole checks! They closed the store and reopened under another name so that required moving opening and unloading boxes...this is when I started losing weight. That with price checks that required me to run from one end of the store to the other...I am not sure how much I weighed but I went from being a size 18 to a size 13. I got a boyfriend went through a breakup later that summer...so I dropped down to a size 9 weighing 158...
So for now that is my goal...
I am married and have 2 kids. I work from home for a medical software company working on a helpdesk and am a licensed nail tech so I do that part time.
I hope I can get through this...I pray for a smooth and fast recovery!
