In January 2007, I was 289 pounds.  One fad diet away from 300 lbs.  My cousin had undergone rny surgery about 2 years prior but I felt it was extreme.  I wanted to be sure I had exhausted all other options.  I began the Optifast program.  After 20 weeks of shakes (and about 17 weeks of on and off cheating), I was down to 248 lbs.  When the weight started coming back on I had had enough!   I then found out I have mild arthritis in my knees.  My doctor gave me a referral and so began my journey in Options, Kaiser's bariatric surgery preparation program.  I have learned soooo much in my classes at Kaiser!!!  I am learning to love me for me.  And it feels so damned goood
