My life prior to gastric bypass was terrible when i think about it now socially i was a recluse and the times i did go out i was always the jolly fat guy who hid behind laughter.

While I could walk, bike, and enjoy the basic physical standards of life prior to my bypass, the truth is that I was too out of shape to do much of anything. My joints hurt; I was tired all the time and was just not healthy. I came to realize that my lifestyle would have progressively been reduced over the next decade or so.

If you had asked me before my operation if i was addicted to food i would have said no, but i have now come to realize i was in fact, i would use food to comfort me when i was sad, to celebrate when i was happy and then for everything in-between.To say I was addicted to food was an understatement.

After much research, talking with other patients and weighing the options of pain now verses high quality of life later, I realized that gastric bypass was for me. The most common question I get from everyone now, is "how do you feel?" i normally just say i fell amazing but in all reality i actuall just feel normal, I mean i can buy clothing at a regular shop, I fit in an airline seat and other than my dietary restrictions, I tend to fit in everywhere.The only real difference between then and now is that I focus on different types of foods and try not to think about the junk I no longer eat.

well that's me thanks for looking and good luck with your journey or congratulation on your new life

Thanks for everyone's kind words.
It certainly does wonders for my confidence to come on here and see all the nice comments.
If there is any questions anyone has I am quite happy to answer

 

[yapper1901]

Lifes good when you are normal eh!

I hope I did not offend you with my statement ^normal^ as it was never my intention to offend anyone

I didnt mean when I was overweight I wasn't normal and now I am. What I meant was before I felt I never fit in but now I just feel relaxed and happy and not worried that someone is looking at me or so forth
