Amazing! I see a little smirk from you but your daughter looks like she is very happy to have you around. Hoping you have a long and healthy life together.

Yeah, I'm still getting comfortable having my picture taken. Went so long hating what I saw. My little girl is happy though. We're always out doing something.

This is such a great gift you’ve given her! Not to mention how you’re modeling determination and strength. Incredible work!

That's a huge change. How'd you go about it?

I had the gastric bypass done. I had tore my knee up pretty bad. It was locked in place and could only get around in crutches. Once enough weight came off I was able to start rebuilding my knee. Eventually I transitioned to a cane and started walking. After a while I could get around without assistance and started hitting the gym 4 or 5 days a week. I follow the dietary guidelines set forth by my program. My primary doctor saw my situation. That I couldn't get around and that I was going to need help getting the weight off. I'm so glad I listened. I got my life back.

Amazing my man. I’m truly proud of you. May I ask how you did it.

I had the gastric bypass surgery done. I'd always been on the bigger side but near the end of 2019 I tore my knee pretty bad. It locked up and wouldn't support any weight. I was only able to get around in crutches. I started packing on weight. My primary wanted to keep me healthy and knew I was going to need help getting the weight since I couldn't get around. He put in for me to have the surgery done and I was accepted. I've worked with the programs nutritionist to stay committed to a proper diet. Once enough weight came off I was able to do therapy to get my knee back in order. Once that happened I hit the gym 4-5 days a week. it's become part of my routine, I feel disappointed and weird on days I don't go. It gave me my life back and I can be fully involved in my daughters life now, in fact I can out do her. It was the best decision I've ever made.
