So, as I get closer to my surgery date I figured I'd like to share my story! At 5'1 I've always been "chubby" but it wasn't until my late 20's that the weight really started to stay on me. I know part of that was I continued to eat like an active collage kid but was not NEARLY as active. Gone where the walking everywhere, the dancing and the swimming days.Along came the drinking, eating fine foods and watching movies days. Those days took a slight toll and at my first attempt to get in shape I was maybe 190. Lost some weight, moved where there was less chance of activity and gained even more weight back. This time I was 230. In five months I dropped to 150 by cutting carbs, restricting calories waaaaay too much and exercising 5-6 a week for almost 2 hours a day. I was an animal but the weight came back when I slowed the pace after I got married. Slowly the numbers creeped back up. Sneaking their way back into the 200 mark. This time no matter what I did I just couldn't keep the weight off. So I stopped trying. I was healthy...good BP, good cholesterol numbers, no diabetes. It was fine right? But as I kept fooling myself that I was healthy slowly I wasn't so much. I started snoring, got hemorrhoids, slight edema and then I was getting winded walking up the stairs. At 267 I knew this could not end well if I didn't do something. This was my wake up that I needed. Closing into 40 I know that I need to take drastic measures if I want to succeed and make weightloss stick because my short legs are NOT going to be able to carry me if I keep this up. I know this is going to be an amazing opportunity for me and I'm glad I get to share my journey with you all. HW: 280 CW: 270 GW: 140 SD:9/18/17 Height: 5'1
