49 Yrs Old 354 Lbs Starting Over...hitting the Restart Button

This past year has changed my life. I have not felt this good since I was in my 20’s. I would like to loose another 15-20 lbs. I am currently working on toning my body. Eating has its challenges as I do not like protein shakes or bars so I eat about every 2-3 hours to get all my protein in. I find having either beef jerky or mixed nuts with me at all times helps when I am not at home. I think it took a good 8 months for my body to be fully recovered. If you are not happy with your weight and it is affecting your health I recommend having this procedure. I stopped going out with family and friends, could not fit into a booth at a restaurant, have not been to a movie in 3-4 years because I knew I would not fit into the seats. Yesterday when I went to my one year post op I wore a pair of sandals that I bought 6 years ago and only worn a few times before they stopped fitting. I went from a size 26 to a 14. The last time I was in a size 14 was in my late 20’s. It is such great feeling to be able to go into a store and not have to buy my clothing from the plus size racks.
