Unfortunately, it took a major health scare to get my health and my life back by having bariatrics. I also lost my mother and father in law to cancer in the same year. It was a reality check that my weight was slowly killing me. All of us on this site, share the perspective of walking in the shoes of an obese person to healthy. It’s been a strange but valuable life experience. I’ve lost 121 pounds and maintaining five years out in the 130’s
I was sleeved in 2014 – I hit my weight loss goal in six months. No secret to bariatric weight loss. Follow your plan, Log your food, exercise and hydrate. Change/work on your behaviors and relationship with food. To anyone that thinks this is the easy way out or that your smaller stomach is the only reason you lose weight, you are seriously mistaken. This is work to lose and maintain a large amount of weight.
I was a true couch potato and never into sports. My goal was to do a 5K for cancer in memory of my Mother. I started by walking for a half hour (totally out of breath) I worked my fitness level up slowly.  I met that goal. I continued to do a 10K, half marathon and full marathon. I’m 50 years old, never in my life did I ever think this would be me.
