I've been overweight or on a strict diet all my life. But 2 years ago...I found out I had Dermatomyositis (a neuromuscular disease). Dermatomyositis is a degenerative muscular disorder which hit me hard and fast when it came. At the time, I was excercising daily....and found that I could do less and less at the gym (like I needed negativity at the gym!!!). The docs put me on prednisone to counteract the loss in muscle strength, but that increased my zest to taste foods!!! (like I needed any help!).
My choice for undergoing lap-band was tough....but I finally realized that I needed this tool to help me get where I'm going. Smokers have patches...I hava a lap-band and a protein intake plan!
I peaked at 278....Met the doctor at 267....showed up for surgery at 255.
Can't wait to see how well I will do with my new set of tools!
