    edited January 6 in Success Stories
    My journey:
    2009
    - gall stone attacks
    2010
    - gall bladder removed
    - diagnosed with Hashimoto’s disease, put on thyroid meds
    - diagnosed with type 2 diabetes as well as PCOS
    2011
    - diagnosed with Crohn’s and Celiac Disease
    - was placed on CPAP machine
    - surgery to have damaged intestine removed from Crohn’s
    2012
    - complications from surgery, abscess formed near stomach
    - hospitalized for 3 months off and on, was only IV fed and lost 40lbs
    - 2 months after discharge I could normaly eat again
    - became malnourished
    - was placed on a strict diet and workout plan from my endo, pcp and dietician
    - diagnosed with extra lumbar, causing sciatic nerve problems and lower back pain
    - still haveing trouble getting my good cholestoral up

    Life now:
    2013
    I am healthy and happy!
    I eat gluten free 99% of the time
    I am medicated for Hashimoto’s and Crohn’s Disease
    I am diabetes free
    I have an amazing chiroprator for my back, so it feels a lot better
    I have reduced my symptoms of PCOS
    I eat high protein, low carb
    I am now normal weight with the help of my endocrinologist, primary care provider, dietician, and gynecologist

    Highest weight: 259
    Current weight: 148
    110lbs lost in one year
    40lbs was because of hospital and 70lbs was my hard work
    Bust:39
    Waist: 28
    Hips:39

    My next goals are:
    Get more muscle tone
    Join archery hunting
    Get waist down to 26in

    I kept this short and sweet! Best advice I can give is to be your own advocate and to fight for what you want. Don't pitty yourself but empower yourself!
