Thanks for the encouragement and info everyone. It is good to know I am not alone. Thanks for reminding my that weight is not my goal, my goal is to get healthy and feel better. Just so you know exactly what I mean by can’t lose weight, I am 5’6 and currently weigh around 205, I’ve been in this area for about 2 years, have had hyperthyroidism for 3 and half years. I might get 5 lbs off but always gain it back quickly. I’d love to at least get down to 170 my weight before all this. The thought of gaining more weight after my surgery is discouraging. But like I said, you all have helped my focus on what my true goal should be, and help motivate me to keep trying. Thanks!!!!!
