Hi Im Liz, Im 36 and mum to 3 little beauties who are 5, 4 and 2. Im currently at 306lbs, its the heaviest ive been yet, Im constantly tired and little energy. Im suffering in all the wrong place like my feet, back, knees, legs in general, chest and inside my head as Im always screaming DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS WEIGHT!!!
Ive been to weight watchers, slimming world, scottish slimmers, done cambridge, lighter life and been on xenical but still, im back here again bigger than ever.
I know what to do and I can do it but then the emotional hunger kicks in and im floored, like when im on a diet i can be good for probably around 2 weeks max then im downhill for a few days of weeks and it all comes back on. I dont seem to have any control over what I eat when I 'feel' I 'need' something(s!). I can be bored, happy, tired (especially bad when tired), stressed....all the usual and then I will pig out, if i start some food its all got to be eaten! or i can just eat all day sometimes i even find im eating when i didnt even realise! its all gone down the hatch so quickly it didnt even register.
Im starting to feel that surgery would be good for me as it would take away the option of being able to eat like this anymore. It would make me face my demons in the emotional eating thing ive got going on an dit would give me some wind in my sails to get active with my babies and live longer for us all. my bmi is 50.9 and i have well managed asthma. would i even qualify?? im terrified of going to the drs on the 27th but i have to do something. I live in scotland. thanks for any advice anyone can offer.

Each PCT is different so the best person to speak to would be you GP, i like you have tried various diet with no real success and decided that WLS would be the better option for me, i also used to emotionally and comfort eat, which im sure the surgery will definately help me. Look forward to seeing how you go with things and good luck with what ever you decide..
