I don't pretend to be an expert. I just know what finally worked for me after a lifetime of battling my weight. I have bounced between being thin for brief periods of time to being obese for most of it. I have had eating disorders and moments of complete misery that brought me to where I am now.
At my biggest, I topped the scale at 375 pounds. August 2013 was the turning point. After turning my life upside down to change my diet and become a workout junkie (we are talking minimum of 2 hours every single day at the gym)... in 4 months I dropped 80+ pounds! But, it was not enough.
I went through all the testing, psych evalutations and lifestyle classes to be approved for Gastric Bypass Sugery. On December 26th 2013 I underwent the surgery and now I am starting a new chapter! As of today, it has been 18 days since surgery and recovery is slow. I am 8 pounds away from the 100 pound loss mark and I am not giving up now! I have dropped from a size 34 pants to a 22. My shirts have gone from a 4X to a 2X.
Right now I am taking baby steps while recovering but the fun is about to begin!
