Weight Loss Transformation of the Day: Kijana lost 155 pounds with weight loss surgery and hard work. After battling an eating disorder, injury and thyroid issues and other obstacles, she has transformed her life and wants people to know that surgery is just a tool and not an easy fix for weight loss. Here is what she shared with us…
My name is Kijana C.
Height: 6’2″ (Yes I’m just SUPER TALL haha)
Highest weight: between 410 lbs and 415 LBS!
Current weight: 255 LBS! (I don’t look it because I’m so tall.)
Goal weight: between 200 and 210 lbs.
I’d love to tell my story! Today was my 1 YEAR JOURNEY ANNIVERSARY (Feb 12th) !!! I didn’t make my goal I had set for today, but hey, I’m still proud of myself. I’m mega bloated right now with water, so it’s understandable.

I just want to tell you how proud I am of your decision to lose weight and to make the choice for weight loss surgery. So many people just give up and give in to just being over weight and unhealthy, but you chose to live and be healthy! Kudos to you, and what a great job you’ve done!

Thank you so much! For me it was my last option. I have degenerative disc disease and endometriosis so I was in pain 24/7. I gained weight in the first place because of my back injury. I just wanted to have my life back instead of being bed bound from nerve pain. It’s been a hard journey. I still have my pain issues but it’s not as horrendous as it used to be. At least now I can get around. Lol. Thank u for ur uplifting comment! God Bless!

I also have a hypo thyroid how do you cope? I am so proud of you sis, keep it up stay focus
Kijana says
My doctor put me on Levothyroxine for my thyroid. They wouldn’t even let me have surgery until that was regulated. The doctor said that the surgery would be pointless is the thyroid isn’t leveled
Kijana says
Thank you all for posting my story!
