Have been overweight since my first pregnancy 1963. I gain a whopping 50lbs. From 118 to 168. After that never went below 135. 2nd pregnancy gained about 30lbs. After that never went below 150. I tried all kinds of methods to lose weight only to gain it all back. 1st method horse pee shots, anybody remember those. No good. I had my teeth wired shut. After 3 months I had to cut the wires. Was feeling to weak, then the next year gained all the loss back then added an additional 15 pounds. Next had a balloon placed in my stomach so I would eat less. After 2 weeks I was having so much pain in my stomach from the balloon, I had to have it removed, and oh my the pain was so much worse having them take it out. I thought I was going to choke to death. I am still not finished with all the misery. In 1990 I decided to have bariatric surgery after getting up to 210 lbs. I would not recommend this type of surgery for anyone. Seriously no one should have this surgery. Of course I lost about 50 or so pounds only to put it back on because of not being able to eat normally. I had what was called a silastic ring vertical gastoplasty (Stomach Stapling). The ring was very small, and had a very had time digesting food, and became very bulimic. Over the next 20 years I had gained back the weight. My doctor recommend another gastric sugary. This time the RNY division surgery bypassing the duodenal to the middle of the Colon (JeJuim). This latest surgery that I had at the end of August 2009 has caused a lot of problems. Yes, I can eat normal again but I have a lot of malabsorption issues, and have developed Osteoporosis. I lost about 45 pounds to 164, and have gone up to a high of 176. I am now eating a healthier lifestyle, and am down to 167, to thats my story.
I will be married 36 years next month Aug 5th, and just turned the big 70 last month. I have 2 adult children both males, and I have one granddaughter from my firstborn. She will be 8 years old next month.

Motivation buddy...someone to help keep me at it
Eating protein will help you build lean muscle, and help you lose weight. Protein will take you appetite away so you are not hungry. Try going to a vitamin store and stock up on some liquid protein supplements like Isopure. They have different flavors that taste ok. 40 grams of protein in one 20 ounce bottle. Drink half upon arising in the morning and half at night.Smile
