My weight loss journey, 2 years and 250 pounds lost.

Before/after picture. http://ift.tt/1UvIaDx

I'm not that good in English so be prepared . 4 years ago my doctor found out that I had big problem with pre diabetes and blood pressure . I was devastated to learn that at 24 years old I was sick like an old man ... It really throw me into a big deep depression . I took 70 more pounds in 2 years after that to be at my maximum weight 469 pounds ( I'm 6foot5). Then everything changed . I was sick at home unable to work (I'm a nurse...)because I had so much problem with my health and body. Life at this point was just horrible for me and I secretly wanted to die as quickly as possible. Then I received the phone call that changed my life for ever.. My dad was involve in a fatal car crash ... I was DEVASTATED . He was the only one on earth who understand me and loving me even if I was fat and really a failure for him . It was horrible for me . 3 day after he passed at exactly 3:21 a.m I wake up in my bed at my house cover in sweat because I had sleep apnea it was at this point a what call it ''fire'' exploded in me . It was at that point where I realize that I was really unhappy and in a freaking bad shape for a young men . I had an awakening I said to my self ( wow I'm really fucking fat and I'm NOT ok with this now). In the morning at 8 a.m I have call my doctor office to get an appointment for discussing weight loss . My doctor recommended me the bariatric surgery because my back and blood pressure was too bad for just exercise to lose the weight. I did wanted to lose it all by myself but I deceived to follow my doctor recommendation . I did one month without eating any sugar or bad food before the surgery because my liver was too big to operate my without too much risk . I lost 40 pounds just by cutting sugar , pop , fast food , fried food . Then my doctor removed 90% of my stomach ( I have the picture of my stomach outside me body if you want to see it ). Soon after the surgery I was able to take some walk and then begin my 2 years transformation (28 March 2014- now. I did a lot of cardio training in a gym with guidance of my doctor and trainers and managed to lost a good amount of weight .. 250 pounds to be exact . Started at 469 pounds and as today I weight 219 pounds ( which is kind of good for a 6foot5 guy). I am what I always wanted to be now , I'm in good shape both mentally and physically but the most important for me I don't feel now like a living failure. I will always regret that my dad is not able to see me now .. Happy and no longer morbidly obese . I am not the perfect example since I did get a bariatric surgery but god damn I just feel so alive now it's almost magical . I'm sorry if it was hard to read I'm on mobile and I'm not an expert in English but I wanted to share my stories with you r/loseit because some of you I'm sure still need motivation and if I was able to do it then anyone can do it ... Sometime you just need something to lit the fires side of you that you need to achieve what you want .
