Arggggggggg frustration & fat!

Arggggg I can NOT get my title in the box on the graphic!!!!!!!!!!! I am so frustrated with it!

OK -- that is out of my system. ---- Let me tell you what has been going on with me. I have been struggling with my weight since I was about 45 it crept up & up & up..... I got up to 240lbs but managed to get back to 225 & have been there the last 2 or so years. I 2009 I thought about a lapband but waffled.... If I could control my eating after surgery why can't I do it on my own!?!?!? So I tried again to diet....... then went to visit a friend and we took some pictures
All I could see was how FAT I had become! ( I'm on the right with the print shirt. LOOK at that double chin!)

I was feeling terrible.... I had developed some very worrisome health problems. Asmatha, high blood pressure and the arthritis in my knees -- my right knee was so dibilitating I had to have my right knee replaced 3 yrs ago and soon my left knee will be in the same shape. Weight Watchers, Nutrisystem, Adkins..... It was time. I had to do something!!!! I scheduled again to see about weight loss surgery. March of 2011 I met with Dr. Whipple. There is lapband, sleeve, or full bypass. Lapband out because I know 6 people that had it done & are still heavy --- there are a lot of ways to "cheat" and noncompliance = still fat! I wanted a sleeve (less stomach & colon removed and fewer issues with vitamin deficiencies) but insurance did not cover it so it was decided that I have a full gastric bypass. I committed to jump thru the hoops necessary and finally after months of appointments I was scheduled for August 30, 2011. I suffered 2wk liquid diet pre-op. The nite before bikini pre-op picture is way TMTS (to-much-to-see) let it suffice to say there was a lot of belly sag! Due to pre-op antibiotic nausea I had to wait until Aug 31 for surgery. All went well. I had a 2wk liquid post-op diet, another 2wks of pureed food. And today was my 4 week post-op appointment! I for the 1st time in over 10 years I weigh less than 200lb !! The number was 198 making my weight loss from my appoinment last March 25.3 pounds! I can currently eat about 3oz per meal (not a lot!!!) but that will work up to about 5-6 oz and it is expected to take about 8 months to reach my goal weight which is 125-130 lbs. I will keep you posted with periodic wt. updates & pictures.
