Good Morning Linda,
I watched this show last night.  It was really good.  He had a lot of learning to do.  I admire his determination to succeed without surgery.  How are you doing?
Always,
JOY

Lovely Linda, Oh my gosh, I watched this last night.  What an adorable young man.  I give him so much credit for his success.  He seems like a wonderful person too!  I hope he finds someone appreciative to love and cherish him for the wonderful young man he seems to be.

Indeed Rosey,he was great. It is wonderful to see him recovering,right before our eyes. I am going to the site they have,to see if he has a blog.

Hey Boo! One of my grandsons,AJ,inherited the fat gene. He is about 7 pounds past his normal weight. He is no more than this due to our determination not to let him get really obese.He watched the show,and you could tell it touched him. He has lost about 3 pounds during this summer.
He knows all about healthy foods. They have helped at school,with a nutritionist coming to the class. They have a light sequence,good carbs and protein are green for go,higher carbs are yellow,for go slow,sugars are mostly a no no,except now and then.LOL.
His brother is naturally thin,outside of a sweet tooth,he loves protein and veggies,he leaves starches on his plate,save for grandma's rice and beans,which I make 3 parts protein,one part starch. The skinny grandson,Zach is almost in constant motion,AJ will sit at his computer for hours,left to his choice. He makes his own animations with ongoing story lines. He knows how to do things that Olivia doesn't and she works in tech support..LOL!
Were it not for our life changes,she and I,they would not be doing so well. Zach understands that thin does not always add up to healthy,so he is conscientious regarding his veggies,he does weight lifting with my weights,and shows me his muscles around twice a week. This pushes AJ to show me his cartwheels,squats and hops,as they are naturally competitive..LOL.
I am so proud of them. I am so grateful for WLS.
Huge hug!!

Aloha Linda......I did watch that episode a couple of days ago....and what a cutie patootie that young man became!! So many heavy people are BEAUTIFUL/HANDSOME underneath all the "packaging..." I hope his life gives him the gifts he deserves.

Aloha nui loa,

Maui Karen

What a change he made Karen. I am grateful for WLS,but when a person,especially a young person is able to turn the disease around,without having his body re-structured,it makes my heart sing!
