My Story
I’m not usually one to post personal things like this, but I wanted to share something important.
About 90 days ago, I went to the doctor to talk about weight loss surgery. At the time, I weighed 350 pounds and was completely exhausted with the way I felt physically and mentally.
The doctor told me I qualified for surgery, but after blood work came back, everything changed. My fasting glucose was 425, and my A1C was 11.8. I was told I couldn’t have the surgery unless I got my A1C below 9.0 first.
That hit me hard.
But instead of giving up, I decided I was going to fight for my health. I cut out sugar, cut out about 90% of my carbs, started tracking my glucose every day, and stayed consistent even when it was difficult.
Now, 90 days later: • My A1C is down to 5.0
• I’ve lost almost 50 pounds
• My testosterone levels are back in the normal range
And the craziest part? I don’t even want the surgery anymore.
What I really needed was to believe in myself again.
Still a long way to go, but for the first time in a long time, I know I can do this.
