I'm new here. I started a Dr. supervised diet yesterday. I had lapband surgery in 2008 that did not work for me, so I'm trying another approach.....
I started a blog on here so I am just gonna copy and paste my first entery, it explains alot more:
OK so here I am, Married, 26 years old... and 308 lbs. I've tried Bariatric surgery (LapBand 05/08), Weight Watchers, Adkins, and pretty much every other diet under the sun. I have PCOS, HTN, Sleep Apnea, and I've lost 3 pregnancies ... all the usual weight related problems, and this is my last ditch effort to lose some weight and maybe have a family, and a more active life. Today is day 2 of my new diet, I am being closely monitored by a weight loss Dr on a "Shakes & Bars" type diet, along with metformin, an appetite suppressant and fruits and vegetables. I hope to use this blog to vent my feelings and if successful maybe I can help some one else.
