My Story Well here I am, I never thought I'd be doing something like this. I've been fat for almost my entire life. I realized when I was 13 years old that I was bigger than most of the other kids and I don't feel that I've been a satisfactory weight ever since. I was chubby when I graduated from High School and just continued to get bigger as the years wwent by. I was able to have a small amount of success with weight loss when I was in my late 20's but gained it all back and then a lot more after my daughter was born when I was 29. I began having problems with my knees and at 45 realized that I needed to do something drastic because I just wasn't willing to live with the pain anymore. At my heaviest I weighted 270 lbs and have been able to get down to 231 with the help of my surgeon and his staff. My surgery is scheduled for February 27th, 2008. I feel confident that everything will go well. Well, I'm six weeks out of surgery and feeling great. I had some patches there where I didn't feel well, usually because I ate too fast or tried to eat too much and on occassion I tried to eat something that I just knew I shouldn't yet. But I'm over all that, I'm a smart girl and catch on quickly. I've found that I don't tolerate tuna, but I'll try it again in a few months, other than that I haven't had any problems with the foods suggested by my Dr. I lost approx. 45 lbs before surgery and in the six weeks since I've lost another 30. I feel great and I've even been out to dinner on a couple of occassions with quite a bit of success. I was warned about microwaving my proteins, but have found that that's not a problem for me. I tolerate microwaved foods very well with no repercussions. I now know why the Dr. said don't drink with your food...there was a few occassions where I got that stuck feeling in my chest and it was natural to try and "Wash it down", what a mistake. That usually results in me vomiting, so if you read this remember! Not a very nice feeling at all! I'll let you know in a few weeks how I'm doing.
