My Story
November 22, 2005, I had a gastric bypass surgery called the Mini Gastric Bypass. I weighed 292 pounds. (My highest weight was 311 pounds.) I had struggled with the idea of surgery until I read the facts: that the percentage of people who had over 100 pounds to lose that lost it, and kept it off was nil. I was slowly dying.
I lost 147 pounds and my life has changed in so many ways. I am the person I was meant to be. Recently, I started to forget where I came from and lost track and gained some weight back. But like the Phoenix, I rise from the ashes and renew myself. The Warrior returns. Join me as I battle this war, and win.
If I can do this, so can you!

I have been told a few times lately, that I should write a book about my weight, my issues and my trials, tribulations and triumphs.
A book? Really? (Sometimes, I feel like only two or three people ever read my blog, why would anyone want to read my story?)
But then today, some ideas started ruminating around in my old noggin.
So now it just may come to something...Hmmmm....

I'm sure so many people would enjoy reading your story. I check your blog daily. I can't get over those pics!! OMG....amazing! I've learned more from reading people's stories than I ever could have from a doctor. It's nice to read about people who are going through what I'm going throug and not just talking about what they "learned".
I think it's a great idea. You are a great writer and I would enjoy reading your honest truth. Good idea Barb!
