    Who Are You?

    I'm 40 and have 3 boys - 8, 11, 13. The middle one has Aspergers. I have been married for almost 18 years with many ups and downs but we're doing OK right now. I came to the States 15 years ago from Germany and I'm incredibly homesick still. I was always a bit chubby but the weight piled on all at once when I moved to the US. So many changes in life style and by the time I was here 2 years I had gained 60 lbs. Been trying to diet ever since. My mom passed almost 8 years ago from cancer and I was able to get to Germany in time to be with her when she died. My world is still in pieces. It seems like every day is a struggle between trying to manage my behavioral autistic son, my emotionally unsupportive husband and my weight. I work part time as an optician and for the first time in years I said no to the "Biggest Loser" challenge at work. Every January we start the weight loss challenge, I rock it and by summer I gain it all back plus 10lbs. I haven't told anyone about the sx except a friend who had bypass a couple of weeks ago, my husband, my sister and two friends who work out with me. My sister is trying not to show it but I can tell she doesn't understand. She used to weigh 300lbs and lost 130, maintaining ok. Good for her... My two workout buddies gave me "the look" when I told them, so I am keeping my mouth shut to everyone else lol because it's extremely discouraging. 2016 will be MY year. I need to love myself again and not be exhausted and on pain anymore. My sciatica is bad and my knees are hurting. I hate my fat suit.

    They are a center of excellence which is required by my insurance. I have not checked on the aftercare yet, great thought ????
  8. Going through the Dartmouth Hitchcock bariatric program. Anyone else??
  9. And this is why only a handful of people will find out. My coworkers are judgmental know-it-alls and most of my family is in Germany anyway, I only see them every few years. For any health professional who needs to give me advice - come right at me.
  10. This is a good thread, I'm lurking, hoping to be sleeved in May
  11. I am not going to tell my coworkers. They are a very judgmental bunch of people as it is! I have told my husband, my sister and two of my friends whom I work out with and who may not understand but are not judging me. I know eventually people will start talking and figure it out but I think once it's over I won't care as much. What I don't want is for people to talk me out of it or into it or give me their opinions at all. This is my fight and I have to live with my decision. I am not sure what I will tell my kids, the 8 year old will not understand, the 11 year old has Aspergers and won't get it, my 13 yo....I am not sure.
  12. Hi, it's early in the game for me. I have just made the decision to get RNY. I have to jump through my insurance company's 6 months hoop but am excited nonetheless. I quit smoking already ????. Reading all your success stories is really inspiring. Everyone is doing great!!
