Hey there! So...I think I'm doing well! I have no complaints! I'm getting all my liquid, Protein, etc...my left side is sore...that's the biggest complaint I can come up with. I guess...

How about you? You've had yours, right?

Do not let anyone including family stop you from becoming healthier and most of all stop you from doing what you know is right. I have been one of those people that you see that have lost almost a hundred pounds by myself following the Larry North program, it was a very easy program to adapt to but in the end it was not for me, I bought Nutri System lost over 50 lbs On that , I worked out all the time ,and guess what it still wasn't for me. I was young in my mid 20' like yourself. I'm 35 and me and my wife were really overweight I was 316 5FT 9 my wife was in her 290's 5 ft 11 and we both realized if we are ever to be truly happy and say that we did everything we would change our life's for good. Yes I have heard all the negative things people say and most of them came from people our own size and even close friends. But no matter what this is what we want our lives to be new and better. So keep pushing and go for it.

Thank you for sharing your story I actually got teary eyed. This is what I want and I'm going to do it. I think about the reason I made the call for an appointment in the first place and it was because I'm tired of being unhealthy and I'm tired of not being able to enjoy time playing with my kids. We went on vacation and all I could do was sit back and watch as my kids had fun. I was too big to ride anything and the things I did ride all I could think about was I hope I don't break this thing! I hope noone is looking at me in this swim suit. I made the call to the dr for a reason

Hey I live In Houston as well bear creek copperfield area!

I'm 27 I'm 238 pounds with a bmi of 40 my family doesn't really get it because my mom lost weight and kept it off with slim for life and my brother lost and keeps it off with herbalife. The only support I feel I get is from my aunt who had bypass done. I want them to know that it's not the easy way out at all and my dr told me to invite them to visits and support groups before surgery. It's just making me rethink my decision.

Well, no one can make the decision for you and 27 years old is an adult so I would say, do your research and make YOUR decision. But I will say that I'm 49 years (young NOW) and I wish I had done it sooner.
