Since I was 20 yrs.old i.ve been struggeling with weight loss.I went down to 165 lbs when I was 26 by just cutting in half of my intake of food.I gained weight to 180lbs when I was 29,when I got married and it was uphill after that and I wound up at 310lbs after a few years,then I went down to 280 and stayed  there until I was 63 yrs old at which time I got diabetes 2 needed, 2 knee replacements.I had one done in 2013 and was suppose to do the next one and put it off.My gp told me I need to lose 50 LBS at least he told me too have the sleeve done and i did on 2/10/15 I'm now at 230 lbs and slowly losing more.It come down to calories in and calories out.You have too stick to your diet and excecise as much as you can.I can't do too much excercise at a time because of my knees so I use an elliptical stepper and barbells.By the way i'm not getting the 2 nd knee surgery because it does'nt hurt since my sleeve surgery.I found BARIATRIC PAL BY GOOGLING FOR BARIATRIC SUPPORT GROUPS ON LINE.
