Hi Everyone!

Hi. My name is Mary and I found you guys by typing in a problem I was having in a search engine. It must have been fate

I have been watching and reading your stories for a couple days and you have all been quite helpful and inspirational.

I started my journey at 301 pounds. I knew when I crossed that 300 line that was it for me. I was a insulin dependant diabetic with liver and thyroid problems and high cholesterol. It was time to change.

I went to the seminar in February and started working out and seeing my surgeon and a few other docs regularly. I got down to 283.

I started my liquid diet on July 20 and had my surgery on July 27. Life sure is different I am only 10 days out and down to 264. I am on puree and tolerating it well. I have not taken any insulin since the liquid diet started. I feel great

I'm glad this forum is here so I can talk to/listen to people going through the same things as me. Thanks for being here!
