Last month I was diagnosed with PCOS at 32 years old, which I had already known but the doctors would not listen to me. I have been overweight since I hit puberty. I played sports all year along and have always been very active. But have been over 200 lbs since I was about 13. I even played soccer and tennis in college. The last couple of years my weight has gone up and down but never below 200. My highest was 246. Last year while living in Thailand I left my husband and changed my life around. I started working out and running in races. Even with all that I was doing I could only lose about 15 pounds. Very frustrating when your are doing do much.
So this school year I moved to Pakistan and met a doctor that listened to me. Because of my diganosis and the fact that I have always been heavy, she suggested that I get a vsg. She was the head of the hospital and said that the surgeon was one of the best. And he was. So personal and kind. Did not make me feel bad about myself. So a week later I was sleeved, yes a week later. The service was awesome. I was in the VIP suite and everything went well. One other girl was sleeved after me and we spent the night in the ICU standard for this hospital.
So now I am about 2 & 1/2 weeks out and doing well. I am on vacation in Bangkok. My NUT asked me why didn't I wait until after Thailand and I told here that would make it a nth later and IT IS MY TIME. I am so ready to be skinny. I have lost about 15 pounds, things have slowed down but I think that is normal and have been reading other posts. I am walking, and following the diet??? liquids are hard to get all in. I just bought Protein but it is not very good I will suffer through because it is expensive.
I want to loose another 2 lbs to be below 200 by 3 weeks out!!!! I am walking and doing what I should.
I am a teacher in Pakistan and love my job, my daughter and soon to be new body!!!!
