AFTER: Howard Lost 285 Pounds!

Success Stories - Howard

I knew that if I had a serious attack, I might need surgery. But what doctor would risk operating on someone as obese as I was? I was newly married and my wife was full of energy. All I wanted to do was stay home and watch TV, eat and sleep.

BEFORE: 505 Pounds

At 505 pounds, I was in constant pain. My knees started making strange noises and started to give out when I stood up. I was living on anti-inflammatory medication. I couldn't do basic work around the house. There were weeks my pain was so severe, I missed work. My wife wanted to hug me but I would scream out in pain. I wanted to take my wife away on vacations, but my back pain left me confined to hotel beds.

I was miserable because of chronic pain. I was depressed because my life revolved around eating. Life was passing me by. Finally, last January, something inside me clicked. I could no longer take the pain or depression. Over the previous 10-year period I had made several half-hearted attempts to get healthy. Like most obese people, I was an expert on diets. I knew just about every diet but couldn't stick with anything.

Nothing people said to me had any impact or motivated me. The more depressed I got the more I ate. I made an appointment with Dr. Kaplan because I was familiar with a liquid diet from high school when it helped me lose 100 pounds. I kept the weight off all through college by maintaining a strict fitness program. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that shakes are now easier in a ready to drink form. Over the last nine months I have lost 285 pounds! I'll continue on the plan until I reach my goal of weighing 205 pounds.

Dr. Kaplan saved my life. I no longer suffer with back or knee pain. I am no longer tired. I am able to engage in exercise and I have even been able to ride a roller coaster! I am no longer a prisoner trapped inside my body. I no longer worry whether I can fit into a car or whether a seat can hold me. I feel very fortunate that Dr. Kaplan's office exists. The low calorie diet gave me the results I was looking for without surgery. The liquid diet has given me an appreciation for my health. I never thought it would be possible for me to feel this good again.
