  1. Marilyn's weight loss journey, installment 6 !

    Well it is 3 weeks post op and it has been an adventure learning to eat and drunk again. My doctor is one who advocates transitioning back to real food at a fairly rapid clip. I spent 2 nights in the hospital instead of just one. That was more do to the time my surgery was completed than any health issues on my part.

  2. Marilyn's weight loss journey, installment 5 New beginnings!

    This process getting sleeved had been a long and complicated ordeal. I went to the first informational meeting almost 3 years ago and was all excited to get my weight under control. Before I could get an appointment I had to get a referral from my PCP and authorization from my insurance company.

Tom at about 500 lbs, me at about 300 lbs plus my daughter just didn't fit real well in a full size bed.

Now the only thing I will say about ...
  5. Marilyn's weight loss journey. instalment 2

    Due to my very low self esteem I didn't love myself and didn't think I deserved to be loved and had some very bad relationships with men. I dated one in particular I remember who thought the world revolved around him and it was my job to make him happy, and being that I was fat I should be glad to do anything he asked just to be with him.
