Topic: RE: AZ/39y/F/RNY looking for support pals ... all locations welcome!
Hi Dawn,
Im a 39yr old female in Goodyear, AZ. I had a lap band that had to be removed last year. I am now scheduled for surgery on Wed. 4/13/11 for a gastric sleeve!!!! YAY!!!
I am married, have 5 kids (20,19,15,13,12), four boys and one girl. I am not from here and really don't have any friends to speak of. I could use a penpal/support buddy and who knows maybe one day we could even have lunch!

A Supper Hyper Drive Metabolism.Yes I have had my thyroid checked! as well as everything else that would deal with my metabolism! I am what is called a “Zebra? / Pink Elephant, or an unexplainable person as to the medical profession . Healthy yes, medical issues yes, explainable … a big NO !
I generally eat mass amounts of carbohydrates, high proteins, fats, you name it I eat it and I eat it ten times a day . My main food feast starts around 18:00 / 6pm and may end as late as 3 in the morning . I consume 6-8 family sizes boxes of cereal (rice crispy, cheerios, cork flakes, crisp x, ect.) in a month. 3-4 (18 oz) jars of crunchy peanut butter, tuna fish, chips, pastas, meats, nuts, apples, other fruits, chocolate, cookies, candy, snack cakes, yogurts, and the list go’s on and on .
When I add the body building / mass gainers to my diet my metabolism goes into Supper Hyper Drive and I literally have to eat all the time. My body craves it to the point I consumed 3 … 3 lb buckets + Whole Milk in one month plus regular food ten times a day while being checked out by a Doc I was at a weight of 145 lb while working out .
And might I add starving too boot I felt miserable when the study was over 9 months later I dropped to 125 in 15 days and that is where I stayed for 6 months until it slowly come back up over a year later to 130 . My average weight is 120 - 135 lb year round . You know you and others have a real issue when there is only one site to address weight gain issues / not over weight ( No I am not picken on folks ) Skinny folks have just as much trouble … I / we just don’t have any support to turn too … when we are healthy and want to gain weight . And there are NO Doctors that specialize in the field with it either .

My son-in -law had his lap-band surgery on feb 21, he is doing well now, it really has helped me a lo****ching him. I also have a dear friend that had it done 1 year ago and she has been my rock thru all these decisions, I would ove to stay in touch with you.
