A Change is Coming...

Hey everyone! My name is Kim and I'm headed to Costa Rica to have an RYGB done in two weeks. I'm mentally prepared. I think I've been getting ready for this in my soul for a LONG time. I'm just here to soak up all your wisdom!!

A little bit about me: I'm a doula (semi-retired after 28 years), ESL teacher, seriously addicted crafter, travel agent, and singer in a yacht rock band. I'll be 58 this year and weight has been a struggle since I had my first son (1995) and got two depo shots 3 months apart. I went from 125 to 200 in six months and have struggled ever since. I got back down under 200 for a few months about 13 years ago, but I've been holding steady at about 275 for the last couple of years. My highest was over 300. I've tried dang near everything with adipex being the last effort. I love going to the gym and being active but I just can't DO what I want or need to do there. So this is where we are and this is the time.

I will! I'm currently debating Proteins with my husband. LOL He's sold on Bone Broth Protein Powder, but I keep reading about whey isolate. Which is better for bariatric patients?? I guess I should post this in the Protein section?

Thank you!! My husband and I are professional photographers (and I'm in a band 😆) so he always makes sure my photos are top drawer!
