hello everyone,

My name is Jose but all my friends call me Punn. Guess what by looking at my page you earned the right to call me Punn too for now we in some kind of twist in our lives have found each other and in some way are friends.  My story starts in early childhood... i can never remember being a thin of small child.i went straight to 1st grade cuz i was bigger than all the other kids... i looked more like a 3rd grader than a 1st and that's the time i remember all the picking on the FAT kid started...  my mom tried to put me on every diet she could think  of but i kept getting bigger.
(didn't help that i used to sneak food) Mom passed when i was 13 and the only refuge i found was in food let's just say i went up to 375 or so... at this time i got a wake up call and the battle to gain control began i have tried every diet i have heard about during the last 10 yrs or so... then in 02 i got injured did not help that i was that big and really did not trust Doctors since mom passed... well to make that story short i gained bout another 120 lbs and this yo yo diets don't seem to help i lose some and end up gaining more than what i have lost. My health has been really compromised by my weight too...  Last year after all the struggle i decided in weight loss surgery as my last resort got the paperwork going and was almost done with everything and the it hit me...Heart Failure... everything go put onto the back burner till we could get control of my situation... this January my wife had lap band surgery and has lost almost 80 lbs I'm proud of you baby you look GREAT!!! my heart has gotten strong again and now it's time to continue the journey... My wife has proved to me that i am not alone in this battle and seeing her every time she loses a size it's great she lights up the room and my life too... i went to see the Dr and we got the ball rolling now we are just a few weeks from surgery and i hope to finally gain the control of my life and enjoy everything that is to come along side my wife.
