3 Months Out My Story

[DarkStar 3]

In April 2013 I was 265 pounds 5 11" and considered obese 4-6X men's clothing in addition Type 2 Diabetes, High Cholesterol, High Blood Pressure, 4 Cardiac Stents, COPD. He told me I am a candidate with BMI over 35 with co morbidities. First reaction was no way then thought about it. June 2013 made appointment for Sleeve consultation. Approved, 2 weeks later surgery date 9/6/13. Had no support from wife, children, siblings, nobody. Kept researching and was going to go through it. Was I ready for permanent change for life? New eating patterns, exercise, was starting to question myself "I am not hat type of guy" however most of my issues were due to being overweight. This morning I was 219 pounds I have lost 46 pounds. It is not that hard, I don't put many dietary restrictions on my self just Protein and Water and everything else is secondary. Not as restrictive as I thought, I think Turkey Chili is the key eat 8-10 oz with cheddar cheese (low fat) and low fat sour cream. That is my story
