Default 512 lbs of me.

Hi, I lurk around here from time to time because I was considering a WLS and on Jan 01 08 I started eating a low calorie diet and exercising I want to try to do this on my own before undergoing a life changing surgery, and had no clue as to what I weighed. I had ordered a scale a couple weeks ago that goes to 550 lbs, and it got here this morning and I was ecstatic yet I was honestly scared that it would not support me. as it turns out I weigh 512 lbs today right this minute. I am relieved that it supports me and I am below 550 I in all honesty thought I was more than that so thats a good thing right? but the bad news is that I still weigh 512 lbs so I have a very long hard road ahead of me but its a decision that I made so it doesn't matter how long the road is. I blog daily and have a couple of people that visit it regularly and are a huge support base for me and for that I am appreciative, as I will take all the support I can get.

Just thought I would put that out there, thank you for reading.

As Ever
Me
The next success story.

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

Hi! I'm a Non-Op also and have lost 90 lbs here!!! Isn't that great!?! I did it by 'pretending' to myself that I'd had the surgery--hence I had to eat the post-surgical diet.

You will lose weight REAL fast. It's one of the 'benefits' of being heavier. I have faith that you will do well if you put your mind to it.

XOXO
Mya

How smart! My Dr. said he tells his lap band patients to pretend they had gastric bypass so they will be strict and lose more weight. I never thought about pretending without it at all- but that is a great idea and it obviously is working for you!!!!!!
