Welcome to my world

Jul 18, 2012

My name is Carrie. I live in a small town in North Carolina. I’m 35 and I have a 17 year old son named Josh. He’s the reason I live! ♥

I’m morbidly obese. I’m not going to lie and say that I don’t know how I got to the size I am because I know exactly what got me here. I have a love for food!

I haven’t always been fat. I used to be tiny! I just learned to eat my emotions and got myself to what I am today.

I’ve tried several different weight loss methods throughout the years and finally decided to have gastric bypass surgery.

I have Medicare which requires a 6 month weight loss program. I’m 4 months into my program at the moment.

My starting weight was 411.9 pounds. I know, that’s a staggering number!

My plan with this blog is to keep updated on my weight loss and doctor visits, as well as count down the days to my surgeries.

I can’t just have the gastric bypass, I also have to have a surgery to place a filter into my femoral artery, so if I develop a blood clot in my leg, the filter will catch it so it won’t go to my heart or lungs and kill me.

Here we gooooooo…
