Seven Months Post Op

After 7 months I have reach my goal of 190lbs and fell great. The most challenging part of this lourney so far has been to adjust the way I eat. You can no longer take large bites of food, no drinking with your meal and waiting after you drink to eat. Some foods now have very little appeal to me and i avoid heavy foods all together. This was a health choice for me, no high blood pressure, blood sugars are back to normal and my arthiritis is under control so i would have to say my surgery was suc

Down To 220!

Well I'm meting away according to my family and friends, but that's a good thing. I,m still trying to readjust to eating solids but them seem to get right in the middle of my chest.

Home- The Aftermath....

My surgery took place on March 16, 2012 in Celebration Florida and was done by Dr. Keith Kim, a very good surgeon in this field. I have done research for about 4 years on the subject and talked with countless people about the surgery and those who have had the procedure done. The most surprising thing that I learned was that most people view WLS as a negative cheating way to lose weight, but the majority with that viewpoint were often uninformed or just ignorant to the whole weight loss process
