My name is Odessa. I decided to get WLS after gaining over 100lbs and being unable to lose any of it. The weight started to affect me physically, mentally and emotionally. After suffering through severe depressions knew something had to be done. All my life I have been a small person. After going through breast cancer I was put medication that caused the weight gain and bad eating habits that was very hard to break. I underwent the gastric sleeve in December 17, 2013. My only challenge is drinking the protein shakes. I CANT STAND THEM! My biggest challenge so far is getting 80 grams of protein a day when I feel so full all of the time. I am 3 weeks out and have lost 35 lbs. I am so excited about what is ahead of me. My weight on surgery day was 237. I am now 202 hoping to break 200 soon. My goal is 135.
