Ok here we go....

 This is the first time I have ever blogged so forgive me if i have bad grammer,or maybe I didn't do it right, but I don't care this is for me, so enjoy it or don't..., that is up to you...lol I am a 34 yr old male starting weight was 544lbs. Happily married to a wonderful woman who sees past the fat. I am disabled because of my feet,and suffer bad bouts of depression. Cardio Excersise at my weight is impossible(or at any weight). I have tried every diet under the sun...slim fast, slim slow, slim up, slim down, slim shady...lol Nothing worked. I just kept gaining weight. It didn't help that I had a major addiction to French fries and you could IV my shakes in my arm....Then I finally realized I am an addict...to food.
I needed to lose weight. I was at the end of my rope with diets. That was when I heard from a friend on Facebook that a great surgeon was in town named Doctor Cooper.(My friend is also overweight) He told me that he had bariatiric surgery called " the sleeve". One night he invited me to his house and we talked..alot.  I was determined to give the idea of surgery consideration, ...and I did.

So here I am pre-op diet of 1200 calories (that I used to pick out of my teeth) a day, counting the days till my surgery which is on the 30th of June. I am having a DS done.  I just had my last meeting with the wonderful Doctor Cooper who is a "tell it like it is" kinda guy but with a bed side manner. He seems very informed and very capable. Which makes me feel good about my decision. So wish me luck one and all for June 30th is my ressurection to a new and happier life!!
