I had gastric-by-pass on 04-11-03, my weight before surgery was 313lbs, now weight is 187lbs, however my lowest weight was 164lbs, I am now trying to return to that weight. My average weight thru teen years was about 200lbs, then after 5 miscarriages & 2 children I became 313lbs. the weight came with many health problems, such as high bl/p & cl, diabetes (120u of insul. x2), leg problems, sleep apena, & possible heart problems, etc. My life has changed very much since my weight loss! My husband & I go dancing every weekend & take dance lessens weekly, I taught water arobics for a retired community, now I organize all the activities for that community (such as bingo, cards, tv game show nights, dances & music, parades, potlucks, trips, movie nights, line-dancing lessens, birthday, holiday, & anniversary parties,etc) I am a very busy person, & love every minute of it! Where as 7 years ago I did very little of anything. My family says I finally came out of my shell! (?) Others that only know me now, after my weight loss, say "It must be nice to be back where you were (weight wise) when you were a teen" They don't understand, " I am at the lowest weight of my adult life". MY MOTTO FOR LIFE IS "NOTHING TASTES AS GOOD AS THIN FEELS"
