Despair, worry & hope
320lbs unhappy, afraid I am going to die if I do not do something about my weight
3 years ago did full research; learned the ins and outs; chickened out
Now I have made the decision; WLS NOW !!
Blue Shield PPO; Dr. Feng is a preferred provider.
From decision to surgery 30 days.

Feeling Ok; got to go home.. YEA
Feb-Aug 2005
Mind trippin' very strange; wanted food badly; could not eat like before (DUH); losing weight; tired; little support at home; very angry all the time; " the dark period".. weight down big time
September - December 2005
Better; not as angry; more foods tolerated; weight loos fantastic; energy comming back; almost 1 year anniversary !
Jan 2006
I year... 145 pounds less... energy back.. golf back..food back..
Found this wonderfull web site; found great support; no longer alone
Feb 2007 - Nov 2007
Weight maintained; learing how a normal person eats; health returned; I would do it again in a second !
Dec 2007- Feb. 2008
2 Years...155 pound less... eating like a "normal" person for the first time in my life; Normal portions of foods my body tells me it needs. Sugar is still the least healthy of all choices I face; my body does not tell me it needs it; my mind does; so I relax and think about how I will feel if I eat too much; in 9 out of 10 cases; I make the healthy choice.
My exercise is walking; some ab work; not much else. Prior to WLS I ran a marathon and competed in triathalons; so right now excess exercise is not something I want.
Would do it again in a second !
