Unfortunately I am not going to the gym anymore. I had to stop going for financial reasons. Anyway, I've been looking into WLS and in preparation for it, the nutritionist put me on a low carb diet. So far I'm down 8 lbs!!
Jen, what are you taking? Maybe that would be better for me than surgery....
Gastric Bypass saved me from a heep of future trouble. I was athletic in HS and college and easily burned of the 5 meals a day I consumed. When I got side lined with a knee injury I did not change my eating habits and put a ton of weight on in a hurry. Fast foward 14 years, my hip started to collapse into itself (due to my weight and old injuries catching up to me) and I had to get my weight under control or I would be sitting in a wheel chair watching my kids and not be able to do the activities with them. After many different failed weight lose methods, 2 1/2 years ago I had gastric bypass done and lost over 200 pounds. I am half the person I used to be (literally) and am able to roll around in the grass with my 2, 5 and 7 y/o kids. It was one of the best decisions I ever made.
