kimmyco got a reaction from jaterika in Fat confessionals
Great post! Now here is mine. Mine isn't much of a personal one, but more on the lines of health. In May of 2013 I had to have lung surgery where they were forced to removed half of my right lung. Because of my weight, 222, things had to be done differently than that of someone healthy. I was required to give the hospital a copy of my living will and will, or surgery would not be performed. I had to be put on the bypass machine during surgery because of my weight and the complications that could cause. While in Icu for days, my doctor continued to remind my husband and I that it would be a longer road to recovery for me because of my weight. Embarrassing to keep having to hear it. But he had to say it. He was right. It took me one full year to recover. May 2014, one year after surgery, I decided it's time to do something. Had my sleeve done the end of September 2014 and I am now down 75 pounds. With only 7 more to go until goal. I am healthier now than I have been in so many years.

I have hesitated sharing before and after pictures on numerous occasions. But here goes. The first picture was a couple of days before surgery. The second picture was about a month ago and I have lost 10 pounds since then. The last picture is me being brave for the camera putting it all out there two weeks ago. Eek!

kimmyco got a reaction from TexasGirl86 in Newbie just wanted to say Thank You all and Hi
You can do this. Stay strong. I struggled with the decision as well. Now, best decision I have ever made for myself. My husband was my biggest supporter and that helps tremendously. I am a few pounds from goal now. My surgery was September 25, 2014. And I would do it all over again. Eek minus the self pay part of it. That stunk.

Shats are
Sw 222
Cw 146
Goal 140
I allow myself to eat what I want. Small portions of course. Very small portions. But I make sure to get 80 ounces of Water a day and at least 60 of Protein. I put in a full gym in my house, actually hubby did. And I utilize it at least 3 days a week. I don't put pressure on myself. Don't want to feel the pressures. Only thing I have not done is sweets. At all. Period. Cut them out 100%. Miss them. But don't do them.
