Hi, My name is TJ. I am 22 and severely obese. My highest weight was 552lbs. My current weight is 525lbs. I am working on losing 25lbs so that I can get bariatric surgery. My long term goal weight is around 250lbs. My surgeon feels that this is certainly attainable. I am also pending back surgery. I was injured at work in 2015. I have been heavy my entire life. I have been through brutal bullying by kids in hig school. It got so bad that I didn't want to go to school anymore and even considered ending my life. I however had a "come to reality" moment when my doctor for my back said that no one will be able to do surgery on my because of my weight. I am on a very strict diet and have already lost 27lbs.

    He's super positive and has been where you are.

    You are halfway to your goal. Stick to that super strict diet and you will be slated for surgery in no time.

    I got the bypass and it was a life changer. Logging my food was so helpful both before and after surgery.
