Hello! My name is Kat, and it has been a very long road for me to weight loss surgery! I have always been a large girl. I can remember always being "the fat girl" when I was a kid and a teenager. At this point in my life I would be okay being overweight. If I were 200 or even 250 pounds I would probably be happy. However, at the weight I am at now I feel like there is really no point to life. I can walk (barely), but I cannot go places. I cannot do things. I don't have the ability to live my life the way I want to. I cant have children because of my weight and because of PCOS. I am 33 years old and I am one small accident or fit of depression away from being completely bed-ridden. I am on the verge of giving up and this surgery is my last chance at a life that I am proud to live. 
 
I am scheduled for surgery on March 23rd. My paperwork should be submitted to my insurance company tomorrow for (hopefully) approval. I had to do a six month medically supervised diet and exercise program for my insurance company, in which I lost some weight but gained it back. Right now I am limiting myself to 1500 calories a day and I am hoping to achieve a twenty pound weight loss before my pre-op appointment with my surgeon on March 18th. I have been working my ass of this week dieting in hopes that I will have made some progress when I weigh in tomorrow at my last diet meeting.
 
As far as my personality? A mixture of over-eager sweetness and inappropriate snark? I laugh too loudly, I am accident prone, and I laugh at fart jokes like a 12 year old boy. I like to write and do so on my blog(s), though noone reads them. If your bored (and man, you would have to be) you can check them out here for my regular blog: http://manicpoetic.blogspot.com/
