Posted 28 Jun 2011
I have been overweight for the most part of 35 years and life has been getting increasingly more difficult with the weight. I am suffering alot of pain in my joints and feel so tired all the time and unable to bend over and do the smallest of things like cut my toe nails. My self esteem is also at an all time low!
I am booked to go in for my Gastric band on July 8th 2011. I am currently on the two week pre-op diet to try and shrink my liver. This is hard! I think the minute you know you are on a diet you are more hungry. I not doing to bad, I just hope it has helped.
