It has to be this time

[lanmaam]

After a very long absence, I am back to the Atkins WOL. I gave up ever suceeding when I injured my back last year. I was almost bedbound and ended up with a four level spinal fusion. I started out 70 pounds overweight and am now 100 pounds overweight. The surgery did not fix the problem and now another surgery is planned but I know this weight is a huge part of why I am not getting better. I am depressed beyond words that I can no longer walkout with extreme pain and my life seems to has slipped away from me. I have to lose this weight so that I can can once again walk and play with my children. I will be having the second surgery but can make give it a better chance at success by losing weight before and then after.

I know everyone on here is great and am asking your help while I get back on track.
