Weightloss Surgery Update
Ok guys and gals. I've finally got the nerve up to post some pics of me before my gastric bypass surgery and after. The first photo i'm not proud of. I look at it and get pretty pissed at myself for ever letting myself get that big. I quit smoking 10 years ago and discovered how much better food tastes. I've tried every diet you could think of, even did Herbal Magic for a little while and lost 45 lbs but put it all back on plus some.
Finally decided i needed medical intervention if i was gonna live a productive life. My knee and back problems would have had me in a wheelchair within 5 years the doc told me. Anyways i had surgery Feb 17/06 and am almost 4 months post- op and have lost 56 lbs since surgery and 69 lbs since consultation. I find i have to force myself to eat because i'm just not hungry, and i don't even crave any sweets the way i did...
Well i've bored you long enough here'* the pics....
Be kind.....

In all honesty,Deb. You weren't really that heavy.
Most people have trouble losing weight. I know I do,I've just accepted the fact I'm fat and life is too short to deny myself some of the things that make life enjoyable to me.
Kudos on your decision to take the steps to help make your life what ya want it to be

Hans and dbeast420, this is not a "I'm too fat, I want the surgury". It'* a "If I don't loose weight, the rest of my life will be seriously complicated due to medical conditions" Living in a wheelchair and having cronic back and knee problems dosen't sound like fun.

I wasn't trying to make out like I didn't understand the post. I applaud Deb for making the decisions she did
