While on a trip in Costa Rica in January 2011 I met a patient of TCMD. She mentioned to me how she lost over 80+ pounds since the previous April and was down to a size 14. Her husband also on the trip couldn’t stop gushing about how great his wife looked, how she didn’t cheat once and that she looked fantastic. She raved about Dr Wasson and the program, so I skeptically took the information from her. A month later, I was hospitalized with pneumonia and was discharged with asthma and diabetes. Prior to this time my previous physician would tell me to lose weight and that I was close to being borderline diabetic. Over the years I would always lose 10-15 lbs and things would be sort of okay or at least I thought so. I have a family history of diabetes and really knew better to watch my weight, but my weight spiraled out of control the past couple of years. I had a partial hysterectomy 3.5 years ago which threw me into instant menopause which mentally and physically I was not prepared for and in Oct 2010 had another surgery for the hysterectomy to be completed. All of this happened while working full-time and trying to obtain a college degree part time, and my weight ballooned to more than ever. I weighed in at 256 when I was admitted to the hospital and was mortified. Upon leaving the hospital I tried to lose weight on my own (8 pounds) until I made the appointment with the treatment center.

By the time I started the program in May, I was down to 242 and still very unhappy with the weight loss results I had achieved. While sitting in the class and hearing about the program I did not believe that I would not have cravings for pizza, or other junk food, and my taste buds would change. I was still very cynical and skeptical. I thought how I would not want bread, pizza, or even cake! I went home that night and had my last “supper” (Chinese food) and decided the next morning, Tuesday, May 17^th, 2011 this was it, I was going to change my life and there was no turning back. I didn’t want to take diabetes medication at all and most of all wanted to feel better. At my 5 week visit I was down 25 pounds and by July I was at a point where my glucose numbers were good and I could stop taking the diabetes medication. As I write this now, January 1, 2012, 6 months into the program I am down 61 pounds and feel better than ever! I get compliments all the time about how great I look and people are calling me “skinny Minnie”. I like blueberries and sweet potatoes now (which I did not like before I started the program) and have cravings for a veggie omelets or protein shakes.

My success is owed to three things.

1). I can follow the program easily, no counting carbs or calories. I know what I can and can not eat. I weigh myself daily and know which foods change how I feel or what makes me gain weight.

2). Staff at TCMD. They listen and support you all the way through, give you encouragement for the entire journey. If you hit a bump in the road they tell you to brush it off and get back on the wagon. Jody and Kristin have always been available to answer any of my questions whether is it about food items, exercise and make suggestions.

3). Last but definitely not least, my significant other, Kevin. He has supported me throughout this journey. We completely changed the way we do our grocery shopping and cooking. Since he does all of the cooking, he bought a mortal and pestle and concocts the best seasonings for our meals. We have a variety of homemade blends of seasonings for fish, chicken, and steak, and he even came up with an AWESOME blend to make fajitas at home! He also makes a great chicken chili! When we go out to eat, he is always scanning the menu to see what there is for me to eat and even calls ahead for family gatherings. We plan ahead for me to bring my own food or eat before we head out. I still have 29 more pounds to go to reach my original goal. I’ve dropped down 3 blouse sizes and 2 pants sizes. If you would have told me this would happen a year ago, I would have never believed it. I feel better than I have in many years and am grateful to the Treatment Center and the support of friends and family for making this journey possible.

Tips from Soraya

admin — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 15:21:19 +0000

Thank you again Soraya for coming to speak with us last night. What a great turn out! As for recipes see my previous post!
Some great tips from Soraya are:
- Keep telling yourself to “Keep your eyes on the Prize”
- If social functions are causing you stress and anxiety avoid them until you are strong enough to say no
- Find the support in the people around you. Your friends, co…-workers, and even family members can enable/sabotage your success (not intentionally). Be honest and upfront with them about what you are doing and ask for their support. If they can’t give it to you then avoid them.
Soraya has successfully lost 125 lbs and almost all of her symptoms that brought her to our clinic initially. To read her full testimonial check out our website under the Testimonial Tab.
