My journey 2017

I am a single again women, two adult children and two wonderful granddaughters. My family is my world and enjoy them beyond measure.

My adult life has been a rollercoaster on the weight control spectrum. Over the years I have tried a large variety of methods to regain control. Some of them were successful, short term most frequently. Hitting 321 lbs, being in the 50's and learning my heart is that of a 70 year old made me realize, I had to do something to make permanent changes for a healthier and longer life.

I began the one month pre-op process June 15 and lost 25 lbs prior to my sleeve procedure. My surgery was July 13, after week one of clear liquids my loss total was 35 lbs. Started pureed foods week 2 after surgery. Was excited for that, the excitement was not long lived, but manageable. Very little movement on the scale at this time but notice my clothes getting looser. Still a few more weeks before the soft food transition.

My strength is in knowing I am making these changes in my life to be here with my family longer. Everyone in my life has been supportive and encouraging. With them and God in my life, I can embrace and concur this journey.
