    Hey! Hope your doing good! maybe try more walking, that was the only way the gas got out. I didn't get any gas out till the 3rd day. Heard someone say Gas-x....but I never tried it. it gets better
  9. Doing fine. Nausea and gas are awful for me. The doctor and his team are amazing. I have made some amazing new friends. I will be back on when I feel a little better

I was a skinny kid. When I was 12 years old my parents moved us to a brand new town. I became much less active and started gaining weight. I was 160lbs as a freshman in high school. I started working at McDonalds when I was 14 and gained almost 100 lbs by the time I graduated High School.
I was 240lbs when I met my husband and after two kids and a car accident, I reached 332lbs. I recently started having some health problems and decided that it is only going to get worse if I don't finally do something. I am currently on my way down. I can't wait for WLS so that I can feel better.

My story... Long Post

My story... Long Post

I have had many people ask me about how having gastric sleeve surgery has changed my life. I give them pieces but never the whole story because who has time to tell people every aspect and every detail of what happened from start to finish. I decided a blog post would be the best way to give people much of the information that would answer many of the questions they were asking. Here is my story.

On December 3rd, 2014 I made a decision that would

Who would have known....

by Carak on 01-02-2016 at 09:56 PM
The last year has been an amazing journey. I have learned so much about myself and I have grown and changed times a million.

I have been married for 8 years and with my husband for over 10. In March, after I had lost 90lbs he got very insecure. He started looking for other girls to date online. I found out and he lied about it. After he finally admitted it, things got rough. We tried to make things work.

Who would have know that I would lose 153 pounds in less than

1 month update

by Carak on 02-26-2015 at 08:59 AM
Start of journey 333 lbs
Day of surgery 306 lbs
1 month from surgery 276 lbs

I have lost a total of 57 lbs on my journey. 30 of that has been in the last month since surgery. I would never want to go back. I am already more confident and I can walk much longer before getting out of breath. I still have a long way to go until I reach goal but I am taking it one day at a time.

The weight loss has slowed down a little as expected so I don't worry when I

3 Weeks Out

by Carak on 02-17-2015 at 08:26 AM
Starting weight was 333. Day of surgery I weighed 306 lbs. Yesterday I weighed 282. I have lost 24 lbs since surgery for a total of 51 lbs since December 4th.

I feel great. Finally getting more protein and water in so I think I will start exercising slowly next week. I tried a week after surgery and realized it was a bit too soon. Stepped on the scale and only down .2 lbs since yesterday. I am not disappointed. I know this is nothing but the dreaded three week stall.
