For six years I tried to make myself a success story by loosing over one hundred pounds by eating right and exercise.

My weight always fluctuated in the fiveyears 240 to 290, I exercised, that wasn't the problem.

It was my anti-psychotics that put me here, and I feel like a bottomless pit when it comes to food.

I need my antipsychotics and I realize I need surgery to help with the never feeling full, the rest I can do and achieve.

I weigh right now: 267 and I am 5'8

Before I put on the weight I weighed 155

This is going to be a new year, I don't want to make it year number six of being morbidly obese I want it to be a change.

I am happy I found this site,

And hello

Lisa

Good for you Lisa! I can relate to much of your story. I always thought I should be able to do it on my own. 3 years ago I looked into the surgery and even had a surgery date. But, I kept thinking that I should be able to do it on my own. Well, 3 years later, I had put on even more weight, and I realized there was nothing wrong with admitting that I needed a tool to help me achieve my goals. Good luck on your journey!
