My name is Karen and here is my story!
My Gastric Bypass Surgery was on the 2nd of Febuary. My starting out weight was over 368 LBS and my goal was to lose as much weight as I possibley could before my surgery date!
I have been struggling with my weight for many years! The day I was approved for surgery was the day I turned my eating habbits around. Although it's hard, it's the best thing that I could do for myself!
Five days before surgery I weighed 315 LBS. I didn't have to go on a liquid diet because I lost 55 LBS. during my pre-diet. Three days prior to my surgery date I got a virus which caused me to be dehydrated. This caused multiple problems during my stay in the hospital. They had to pumped me full of iv fluids and so four days after surgery when I got to come home I weighed 37 pounds heavier than before my surgery (and yes I was mortified!). 2 1/2 weeks later and I finally lost the fluid weight with also another 20 pounds!
