I was not overweight as a child or young adult, but after menopause, I began putting on 5-10 lbs per year. Over the years I tried various weight loss programs including at least 3 or 4 times with weight watchers. At some point, I gave up and at my largest was 211 lbs. I knew obesity was linked to many other chronic diseases and would shorten and make the last third of my lifeless enjoyable. I was considering Bariatric surgery. My back hurt. My knees hurt. I couldn’t walk far without something hurting. I felt bloated. I heard about Dr. Liu, MD, and Optifast program. I have accomplished something with the help of Dr. Liu, MD, and her staff that a year ago I would have not thought would be possible for me. I look and feel fantastic. My friends and family have been supportive. When I look at my before and after pictures and remember how I used to feel; I wish I found this program sooner.
Thank you to everyone at Unimed,
