Hello everyone! I am new here. I have not yet been banded, but am starting the process (seminar this week, woohoo!)
I have struggled with my weight my entire life, mostly due to the fact I have PCOS and a metabolism that sucks, no matter what I do I have tried all the diets out there, and after high school (and struggling with bulimia) just continued to get heavier.
I lost almost 100lbs after my daughter was born, but I was breast-feeding and my horomones were actually balanced and I had a functioning metabolism for the first time in my life. It was so awesome! However, my daughter weaned and I got pregnant again, and gained back about 60lbs of that weight (I was at 200lbs.
Then this past January my 2nd daughter was stillborn at 41w, and I have been unable to lose the weight this year, no matter that I Have tried Jenny Craig (which did work, but I simply don't have the money for it, and it worked only when I was breastfeeding) and Atkins, and WW...ugh. I am so tired of this! I am currently at about 260, and have maintained this year, but I know it's only a matter of time before gaining starts.
So I am scared and nervous (mostly of the actual surgery!) but excited to start this journey too. I'm 27 and hope by my 10yr reunion in 2008 I can be down to at least high school weight of 200 or so. (not great, but at least I wouldn't be FATTER than high school!)
looking forward to meeting you all, and picking your brains!
