Hello
I thought I would start my own diary rather than taking over others.
So I guess I start with about me...
I'm in my mid thirties, I have 3 children 2 of them are diagnosed with special needs, the third is currently under assessment.
I was always tiny at school, in height as well as weight, it was until I started to work in retail at 16 that I found my love of fast food ? by 19 I was a 14 which for me was large as I'd been a size 6 at 16!
Then I met my hubby, and we both enjoyed our food, we went out a couple of times a week and I could manage the same portions as him!
Along came the kids and lots more weight... At my biggest I was a 22
I did manage to lose it in 2010 and got myself to a size 6/8 and felt so much better, but slowly it went back on... Then I had an accident and was laid up for 6 weeks, I'm still suffering with my ankle and the weight has piled back on,
I'm now at my heaviest... But weirdly not my largest clothes size I'm an 18.
To me this surgery is there to help me stop the weight creeping back on once I've lost it. I'm willing to work hard, but hopefully the band will just change my mindset. At a huge cost to me I can't let it fail!
So I started my LSD on Monday (a bit early), but started eating more carefully from new year so
1/1/15. 14st 5lb
12/1/15 14st 1lb
I like a lot of you am a serial weigher, but I will only officially log my weight on a Monday.
But after a sneaky peak today I'm looking at 6lb over the last 2 days ??
I've had my pre op and my actual op date is Feb 3rd
Nerves are starting to kick in, but am also very excited
