My story started in 2018 after becoming my father's legal Guardian due to him having a stroke followed by a heart attack. That woke me up, and I began to take my morbid obesity and skeletal issue more seriously.
But in reality, I should have said yes the first time. My VA doctor suggested Gastric Bypass Surgery in 2013 while discussing my morbid obesity, skeletal issue, and being borderline diabetic.
Now let's jump to September 2020
While visiting my PC VA doctor, I decided to get enrolled in the Bariatric program. 26Apr2021, I finished my last phase 1 checklist step, and on 29Apr2021, I received My Bariatric Bypass Surgery Date of 14 June 2021.
During this time, my starting weight was 306lbs; to date, my weight is 289lbs.
What did I do?
Drank more water half bodyweight in OZ
Cut out All Fast foods for Lunch
Cut out all processed foods
Cut as many GMO's as possible
Cut soda's
Switched to a 75/25% Plant-Based Diet (Mosaic Foods Subscription for all Lunches)
Substitute more Alkaline foods in my diet
Switched to Non-Dairy Milk's (Allergic to Cow Milk)
Plant-Based Shakes for Breakfast (Truvani & Garden of Life Raw Organic Fit Protein High Protein for Weight Loss)
I did a lot of research on here and other places. Thank all of you for your knowledge and support.
