Huge but hopeful...

You ought to check out @salodyssey. He started out as a pretty big guy as well. He has some struggles that are a bit different from a lot of us and he might be able to give a better prospective.

Thanks for the suggestion! However, I'm not sure how or where to find the posts of @salodyssey....?

Hello everyone!

I've been a bigger person for most of my life and I've tried nearly every diet on the market. I was 450 lbs when I got married and my wife was roughly 350 lbs. She eventually had gastric sleeve surgery and we divorced so she could start "her whole new life".

I, on the other hand, fell into a deep depression, became a recluse, and my weight exploded up to 660 lbs as I was heartbroken and emotionally eating myself to death. I was in so much physical pain I couldn't stand for more than 5 minutes.

Finally 3 years ago I started doing a low carb/high Protein diet, and 5 minute walks which eventually increased to over an hour.

Now my weight is down to 446 lbs. I feel a LOT better but I been struggling to lose more weight as I have been stuck between 446 and 470 lbs for close to a year.

My doctor recommended weight loss surgery and I'm now scheduled to be sleeved on December 14. Yay!

I must say I'm really enjoying reading so many awesome inspirational stories of everyone's success. I know Post-Op life will be a challenge but I'm only moving forward, and never looking back.

Good luck to everyone!
