BMI 57 and Planning on Gastric Sleeve to Help, Atlanticare Weight Loss Center, NJ

I walked almost 3 miles. It was a fun time!

Doing very well! My emotional eating almost got the best of me until my nutritionist suggested OA. I joined two weeks ago and am staying on my eating plan. My stats are HW 343 SW 322 CW 282. Total loss of 61 pounds. Was sleeved on 2/23/15. I feel great and know that this is only a tool, not a magical answer for my obesity. For anyone who is looking to have this surgery please know that it will not fix any emotional hunger you may be dealing with. It is not brain surgery, just stomach surgery! You can and will gain weight if you continue to eat in an unhealthy way. Surround yourself with a support system. For me, my husband, nutritionist, friends and my OA support group are my rock. Most of all I have learned to give my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, my will and wants-each day, hour, and minute that a temptation of eating off program enters my mind. All the glory I give to Him because at my weakest He is the strongest! I cannot rely on will power...for me I will never be strong enough. I am setting a total weight loss goal of 100 pounds by Christmas-I will try my best to get there!

Total lost 50.2 so far! Started training for my first 5k run, and I plan on running the entire 3.1 miles!!! Downloaded couch to 5k app and it is helping me train :)
