It is NOT easy by no means! The first 6 to 9 weeks are pure he'll, but if you stick with it and believe in yourself, YOU CAN DO IT!!! If I can do it. In 6months I was a size 4!!!! It has been just about 2yrs now and a few more "breast cancer related" surgeries later, I am now a size 2 and feeling FABULOUS!!!!! I am 5ft tall, on a good day, and weighed 200lbs. Meeting with their in house nutritionist, nurses and PAs. They are very well informed, it is definitely a one stop shop. he KNOWS WHAT HE'S DOING! His staff definitely makes up for his lack of bedside manner. Fitzer, who is a little rough around the edges and needs to work on his bedside manner, but. I had to get the weight off fast!Īfter meeting with Dr. I was bridging into complete liver failure. I had breast cancer and not only did the chemo pack on the weight, it attacked my liver. Fitzer and his staff are FABULOUS!!!! I had a bariatric sleeve done almost 2yrs ago and it literally saved my life! My husband and I are also trying to get pregnant and currently dealing with fertility issues, so while we wait for a positive, I keep telling myself that I need to make my body as healthy as possible so it’s ready to carry our baby.Dr. I don’t ever want to be a slave to food or feel trapped inside of my own body. My motivation comes from a serious refusal to go back to the way I was. I started to fall in love my body for the first time in my whole life, not because it was getting smaller, but because of how strong it was. And while the weight change was amazing, I saw the biggest transformation in my mental state and the way I thought about myself. I transformed my entire way of living, both physically and mentally, in a 12-month period. I don’t want to feel the way that I did before surgery ever again. I'll usually take my dog for a long walk, go to a Pilates class, or do a workout at home with a YouTube video. Now, I still hate going to the gym, as a part of me still feels like I don’t belong there, even 189 pounds lighter. I also make a couple of Starbucks-inspired protein boxes with fruit and cheese every Sunday that I snack on throughout the week.
And if I’m out for lunch, I always like to do a big salad with some kind of protein.
Gastric bypass success story full#
View full post on Instagram What I eat in a day has dramatically changed since I starting losing weight.īefore it was nonstop junk food for me. I tried therapy for two years to get my issue under control, and at the end of my treatment, my therapist suggested looking into gastric bypass surgery. I was living with my parents and trying to hide all the food from them because I was so embarrassed. I would eat three large meals from McDonald’s in one sitting. By the time I was 22, I weighed 300 pounds and had full-fledged binge eating disorder.
I struggled a lot with anxiety when I left for college and turned to food for comfort. But as soon as I graduated high school and stopped being active, I noticed the weight start to pile on.
My weight yo-yo-ed throughout my childhood and teens but I was always active in sports, so that helped at the time. I was always the biggest one in my class and remember having to get a doctor's note to start Weight Watchers when I was in the fourth grade. My whole family has struggled with weight my entire life, and I grew up overweight. After 20-plus years of struggling with obesity and an eating disorder, I decided to take control of my life, get a gastric bypass, and commit to changing my lifestyle permanently. I am 28 years old and live in New Bern, North Carolina. My name is Kathleen Golding ( kathleeng1112 ).
