My Bariatric Life

(Profile)
In 2003, I made a decision that would forever change my life. Since that time, I have been following a program of lifetime obesity disease management to sustain long term weight loss. It began with bariatric (weight loss) surgery followed by changing the way I eat, mild exercising, and attending a support group (NOT my surgeon's support group). Today, I'm a size medium and living life larger than ever!

My Bariatric Life: Is Gastric Bypass the Right Weight-Loss Surgery for You?

Congratulations, you've taken the first big step toward a healthier (and slimmer) you!  But that's where the questions seem to begin.  Dieting and exercising alone, for one reason or another, don't quite seem to be your perfectly-fit glass slipper (don't get too excited though, bariatric surgery doesn't mean you're off the hook for... Read moreChevron

Living Life After Weight-Loss Surgery: Stress Over-Eating Remains a Pitfall

I had an eating relapse this weekend. Let me tell you about it.   In prep for Hurricane Irene, I stocked up on water and non-perishable foods. The latter being processed foods, of course, which were a staple of my diet before weight loss surgery and now something I rarely eat since changing to a lifestyle of healthy living. We bought things... Read moreChevron

Eating After Weight Loss Surgery is Similar to USDA's New MyPlate

Well, the U.S. government has caught up to the wisdom of what the weight loss surgery industry has known for years: Americans eat too many grains! Back in June of this year, the U.S. government dropped the controversial Food Pyramid icon and replaced it with MyPlate icon. The new MyPlate reminds Americans to make sure that half of their plate is... Read moreChevron

And so I try not to think about all the years that were wasted and the many things that I missed out on being morbidly obese. Those memories are painful. But I will share them in this post so that others who are considering weight-loss... Read moreChevron
