May 11, 2008

Hello, everyone,Just a note to let everyone know how I'm doing. I

started Jan 13 2008 at 368.5 pound. I'm now 289. I cant express to

everyone how I feel like a new person in so many ways. My goal weight

is 220. I have to share this with those that have lost weight or are

thinking about it. I had a very special person encourage me to do the

lapband surgery and a couple of close friends. I was very very scared

to do this surgery for various reasons. It brought up alot of past

and present issues. Especially abandonment issues and fear issues. I

never realized how my weight and physical body effected so much of my

life in the last 12 months for sure. Especially my family life, I was

critical,grumpy, and at times judgemental. I didn't mean to be, but

when you wake up every morning and don't even really want to get out

of bed because the pain you feel, or the first thought in your mind

is how many times do I go to the chiro. this week, or how many

ibuprofin will I NEED to take today. This was my life for the last 2

years, and for sure the last 12 months. This is not even touching on

the mental aspect of life, the self esteem issues, the low self worth

issues, the thoughts that my wife will leave me soon, the thought

that I have no self worth. It's a tough situation, and those people

that don't have those thoughts, don't understand. I feel like a NEW

person everyday. I can only imagine how I will feel when I hit my

goal weight (awesome in all areas). I go to the gym 6 days a week,

and do 4-5 miles per day and weights every other day. I have not b

een to the chiro once, nor taking any pills. I'm growing daily

mentally, big time spiritually, and diffently physically. Thank you

to those that encouraged me, and to the doctors and staff in

Mexicalli. You are all awesome. I'm so excited. If anyone wants more

detail, has questions, or wants to see pictures please ask.
