Nearly 8 Years Post op open Duodenal Switch

Aug 08, 2017

So much has occured since I had open Duodenal Switch on September 4, 2009. I went from 268 and invisible to a crazy 127 before doing a round of IVF in 2012. Our twins were born later that year and life has been insane since. PTSD, depression, anxiety.. and more.... I have gained and lost and gained again. But, this time I have committed to a workout and the meal plan and it is working. I have dropped 10# in a very fast amount of time. I am now 150 and dropping. I haven't been this weight since I was in my early pregnancy. I am now working on not only dropping weight, but truly toning up. I want to be strong and I want those muscles working for me. Muscle burns calories 24/7 where cardio stops about 45 minutes after your heartrate settles back down. I love helping other people figure out what to do, too. Love it! Love my DS!!!
