About Me

  • Gender
    Female
I am a 45+ year old federal government supervisor and I have always been short and chubby. I have tried and temporarily lost weight and of course gain twice as much back. By the grace of God the only medical issues I have is sleep apnea and asthma which I have had since childhood. At 4'10" and approaching 300 lbs I said enough was enough.
I reseached and found Dr. Scott Pennington and the fact he was a chistian drew me to him. On 3 September I had the sleeve procedure and Dr. Pennington came and prayed with me before anethesia and I relaxed and fell asleep before they even sedated me. I started the process at 267 pounds. On the day of surgery I was at 261. Today, I am at 250. My goal is 140 and by December I plan to run a 5K.

I continually feel full and I'm beginning to hate food. I don't get that overly hunger feelings others discuss. I was bad during my first week liquid phase and paid BIG!!! I have not been able to really experience hunger since then. I need moral support because daily I am like, "why did I do this?" I am glad it isn't temorary because I would have RUN back to Dr. Pennington and told him to change it back. I know this is best for me. I am looking for a physical support group but I like being able to wake up and post.
