It all Started for me in a Doctor's Office...
My leg had been hurting for over a year now... My doctor finally convinced our insurance to get an MRI. He sent me to an orthopedic surgeon who said he would have to do an athorscopy. But he was sure I needed a hip replacement... But he knew insurance wouldn't pay for it till I was below 170 and had been for 6 months... He then said the worst... If you need a RNY revision or whatever but I need to loose weight because my weight was crushing my knee.
Now I already had one failed RNY... I did not want another. My girlfriend began telling me about Keto and so I did a lot of research about it and I started getting excited about it.
So her is my goal... I want to get to 133. The smallest weight after the RNY was 185. I am 52 lbs down from the weight I was before that RNY So I believe this is very manageable.
