Hi. My name is Mary and I found you guys by typing in a problem I was having in a search engine. It must have been fate

I have been watching and reading your stories for a couple days and you have all been quite helpful and inspirational.

I started my journey at 301 pounds. I knew when I crossed that 300 line that was it for me. I was a insulin dependant diabetic with liver and thyroid problems and high cholesterol. It was time to change.

I went to the seminar in February and started working out and seeing my surgeon and a few other docs regularly. I got down to 283.

I started my liquid diet on July 20 and had my surgery on July 27. Life sure is different I am only 10 days out and down to 264. I am on puree and tolerating it well. I have not taken any insulin since the liquid diet started. I feel great

I'm glad this forum is here so I can talk to/listen to people going through the same things as me. Thanks for being here!

Welcome, Mary! You will find this site and the people on it invaluable during your journey. Best of luck to you!
