Obesity & Me

Describe your behavioral and emotional battle with weight control before learning about bariatric surgery.

I love to eat and it show I weight 373 back in 2012 could not walk my dog so she payed for my eating habits did walk over to my best freinds house just next door but out of breath so bad my sugar is out of control and I was just about to give up and I decided to go to St. Francis bariatric for help and I started a new life.

What was (is) the worst thing about being overweight?

could not walk my dog hardly went out at all but to Krogers and my Dr.s that is it.

If you have had weight loss surgery already, what things do you most enjoy doing now that you weren't able to do before?

I am home now 1 week today I have lost so far 20lbs I feel so good, I get hugery at night and not sure why I'm doing my shakes, water, eco. water taste good. I'm doing cottage cheese, and apple sauce also just a little at a time.

Still doing my proteins shakes, toss salads and dry breakfast cereals very little meat I never did get along with meats so it will come slowly. my BMI is 37 now and my Dr. Clark was so glad to see that I lost so much, I'm a diabetic and I have given up one of my Insulin's and two diabetic pills YEA!!!!
