Anyone weigh 302? Here is what's in store for you!



Recommended Posts

Ten months ago I weighed 302. Yes, 302. I was so blue.

My life was small and getting worse. Obesity was my lifelong curse.

I had a dream. A dream to live. It asked for all my strength to give.

I mustered strength and all my will. Every requirement I would fill.

I got my LapBand and then began

My new life of not "can't", but "can".

I can, I said, and walked a mile. You've never seen a bigger smile.

I can, I said, and rode a horse. "The hour trail?" I said, "Of course!"

A trip to Italy, climbing hills. My new endurance gave me chills.

A bubble bath is a luxury that once was for everyone else but me.

An airplane ride with a regular belt. I can't describe how good that felt.

The movie seats used to squish my hips. Now the room I have brings a grin to my lips.

My larger clothes become someone's prize as I donate them for a smaller size.

My dozen meds have gone away. One pill and a Vitamin today.

Arthritis pain controlled me so. I am so glad to see that go.

A hundred pounds have waved goodbye. There really is no better high.

Fifty more to get to goal. Not stopping now. I'm on a roll!

So if you're starting out, don't fear. This all can be in your new year!

Have faith, believe, work hard, and give

Yourself the best of gifts -- to LIVE!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
