On August 24, 2010 I started my weightloss journey after my pcp told me I was healthy at 317 pounds. My numbers-cholesterol and blood pressure said I was healthy but felt horrible. It was a Tuesday and I decided to start weight watchers again. The weight started falling off and then a huge stall for about three months so my pcp put me on Bontril. Started losing again and then another huge stall about 6 months and actually gaining weight back. My pcp then put me on two diferent weightloss drugs. That was January 2012. In December 2011, I was convinced by a close friend to go to the weightloss surgery seminar. On January 18, 2012 I started my journey for surgery. On July 9, 2012 I had two different surgeries at the same time. Sleeve and a tumor removed from abdominal wall. I have never felt better in my entire life. I love the decision I have made and will never regret that it is giving me my life back. I have recently started back at the gym and slowly but surely am eating more foods. I am nervous about eating solids but have been introducing them without any problems. My problem foods are ricotta cheese and mozzarella cheese. My goal is to be at 150 pounds which I am at 203 pounds now. I have come a long way and am going to fight this to the end!!!
