I guess I need some help. I am 200 lbs overwight, I don't consider myself a huge eater, but I make all sorts of bad food decisions. I am actually suffering from two problems, which in the end are completely affecting my life a young (is 33 still young?) mother with young children (4 and 8) and my marriage. First, I have a complete lack of energy, I feel for the most part I could sleep all day, everyday. I know some may say this is depression, but it doesn't help that I am toting around an extra 200 pounds. I feel like I could crash and burn at 11:00 am, does anyone have any suggestions to get over this hump. I have this grim reality that the only memory my children have of me is sleeping, compounded by the fact that I work 30 hours a week on third shift in a mentally demanding job, so sometimes day sleep is a neccesary hump I must face.
Second, my middle back hurts all the time. I am sure my stomach is pulling my back out of whack and sleeping for hours on a non-supportive sofa is not helping. Sometimes, I just want sometime to take a rolling pin to my back and roll it down my spine.
I know my husband loves me, but I don't think I am a very good wife, my house is a mess, I am tired, my joints hurt. Which brings me to this forum, I have longed considered WLS, thought about it and thought about it. I am in good health (or as good as someone could be who is 200 pounds overwight) I don't have an extreme desire to be slender, but rather go to bed at 10:00, goof around with my husband for an hour, sleep to 7:00, mayde sneak in a twenty minute nap, clean my home, go to work, play with my kids, and have my back not hurt. Can someone help me?
