My story my story, where to begin, I have been overweight since I was in elementary school. My first diet started as calorie counting in the 4th grade I lost some weight, then it came back. Eighth grade I went to The Diet Center, I did really well there losing 65lbs it took a little longer to come back but the weight came back with a friends. Eleventh grade it was Nurti System lost 57lbs and once that came back plus I was through dieting for awhile. Life went on I graduated went to college
left college found the love of my life and went to work. Fast forward 14 years(2008)my husband and I happily married, not blessed with children together but I have a wonderful stepson I consider my own. This particular was a great year for my husband he too overweight, but enduring several medical issues was approved for his RNY, so in June '08 his surgery was done
and I watched the wonderful transformation of the man I love. He went from barely moving around the house and hardly
being able to go grocery shopping with me to the "energizer bunny". I was so happy for him, this surgery gave him his life back. Two years watching him transform of course awakens me, what about me I want to feel that good about me. I want us to grow old together, not die from illnesses I can try to prevent. So in August 2010 I went to my Doc and talked to her and she thought it was wonderful so I weighed in at 347lbs yikes. Her and I started a low carb low fat plan to start to try and get some weight off before the surgery. I received my first appointment with Dr Long in November which in turn started
the process of reaching the goal of my surgery date. After many twist and turns and seemed like endless appointments my surgery was SEPTEMBER 12,2011. On my surgery day I weighed in at 310lbs so now I start my journey and I can not wait,
good days, bad days I know they are both ahead but Mrs. Energizer Bunny is ready to hop!
