You are very strong to over come the stresses of your past. I was always overweight my self from childhood on. I didn't have a hard time at home but outside the home by being teased horribly as I was growing up and took comfort in food. Back in 2006 I quit a medication I was taking cold turkey and ended up in the hospital for three weeks and during that time I did die and was revived. I also weighed 350 lbs and you would think I would get the message to take care of myself but I didn't. That didn't happen until last year and I finally took the step to get healthy and I am now for the most part. I am so glad you told your story of strength and how you forged ahead to take care of yourself and to live life to the fullest. I am too enjoying my life much more these days. Thank you for your words.

I like my shakes that I make myself. I like to experiment with them by using sugar free Torani Syrups and no calorie products from Walden Farms. I like Walden Farms Marshmallow Dip and also the Carmel Dip in my shakes. By the way Walden Farms makes lots of products that are no calorie or fat. I can't eat to much poultry or meats so this is my way of getting my Protein in.

I have never heard of such a thing as that. You either have gastric bypass completely. It sounds troublesome. Having surgery in Mexico doesn't allow you follow up check ups at all. You need to be monitored very closely after surgery by your surgeon and nutritionist. Please think twice about this it just doesn't sound right.

Very interesting. Thank you for posting it.
