Bariatric Surgery

[JimFitz]

Food is a legal drug. I am addicted to food. I considered lap band surgery but decided to do it myself and prove that I could control my food intake. I am down 30 lbs and have 70 to go. I changed my lifestyle but allow myself one day a week to eat anything and everything I want. Good luck in your decision and keep moving forward. BTW...I also attend OA meetings, they help tremendously.

If anyone is still subscribing to this thread, just wanted to say I hope you all are doing real well! I finally made it below 200. I am just shy of losing 130# this year. Hopefully 135 by xmas. Looking at plastics next year. Good luck everyone

OP here!

WOW, I can't believe this thread made a comeback a year later!

I did not have WLS after all. I'm down 30 pounds from a year ago, and I have about 30 more to go before I'm at a "normal" or "healthy" weight. It's been a struggle and I've definitely fallen off the wagon at times, but the overall trend is good. Trying to lose that 30 pounds before we go back to the World in May, but just trying to take it one day at a time.

Good luck to everyone in your goals!

Congrats on the weight loss! I'm in about the same boat, trying to lose 25 lbs before Disney in April, and to be within a healthy BMI range.

In the just for fun section of the DISboards, there is alot going on in the WISH forum. I am participating in a thread dedicated to weight loss and everyone is getting together and supporting each other. Since I normally do WW online and do not enjoy going to the meetings, getting on the boards and talking with others - not only about weight loss but life in general - has helped, and everyone is very friendly.

Good Luck!
