The title pretty much says it all [emoji28]

I'm curious what caused your obesity and how did the people react around you

Well Good For YOU and may you be always successful in This Journey. YOU may have just dodged That Bullet of Bad Health in TIME; nobody should have to walk around as a Ticking Time Bomb- I did MYSELF So I should Know. Think my primary Care is pleased down-deep with my loss et cetera,but on the surface He Is Peeved that All His Gloom and doom Didn't Come true, and the fact that I NOW Have WEIGHT-Lost down to 20+ pounds LESS than HIM, he's Not a Happy Camper About THAT!
What can I Say but *****PHYSICIAN HEAL THYSELF ! But a thinly veiled snicker when I left His Exam Room. After All I am Ornery and Red- Headed, getting older day by day, but Not Dead Yet!????

My mom has bad diabetes and doesn’t control it like she should it really woke me up the last year or so. My wife is having the surgery in a month so we really will be following it together.

And my new Friend, if you go back and re-read my much earlier postings, you WILL SEE that Freudian as it sounds , IT WAS ALL MY MOTHER'S FAULT, IF course the Fact I stayed that WAY all of my childhood and most of my Adult LIFE, that's MY BLAME but Honestly I knew of No Way out of the Quagmire, tried all the diets known to the Western World, up to and including Medical Supervised Starvation and a few the Orientals must have sent over, NOBODY EVER EVER even mentioned Bariatric Surgery for Weigh Loss. A little over 1 year ago I was a Sad Sick on my- way- to -dying 365+ pounds at 72, now I am 180, a year older and Much Wiser, Much Healthier and the fact I largely exist on protein shakes, soups and broths, really NBD in the scheme of things, I AM ALIVE, Gastrointestinally Crippled but ALIVE! So it Ain't perfect but it is MINE and I WILL Claim what victories I HAVE.

Stay BostonStrong, BostonProud, Live Your Best Life, for truly the Rest of Your Life will Become the Best of Your Life and My Best to you and your LOVELY soon-to-be Smaller Wife! I'm almost always here if you feel like talking, I keep this one of my cellphones active because all my BP postings are on here, don't even use it for calling And et cetera; I have an Oreo-level Android to do THAT! ???

Things are going good right now had really bad heartburn acid reflux which I had before but it’s letting up. Starting to get my hunger back been having protein shakes and cream of chicken broth soup.
