By Celine Pi'ilani Nelsen
John D. Hess once said, "Great people are said to have four things in common:
They speak softly,
Have the capacity for hard work,
A deep conviction for their cause, and
A consuming belief in their ability to do it."
... My doctor told me that I was morbidly obese, a borderline diabetic, and hypertensive. I had just watched two aunts die of diabetic complications and amputations, and the thought of being a leadership development trainer in a wheelchair did not look promising. Thus, I had to make a change in my life in order to SAVE my life. I had to take full responsibility for myself.
I shifted my focus and reconstructed my belief system to include control and responsibility of the SELF. That’s when I made the decision to have gastric bypass (in August 2006) to reverse the ailments that were waiting to settle into my 300 lb. frame.
Left: Weighing in at 300 lbs.
Right: 100 pounds lighter.
March marked my 7th month post operation and almost a 100 lbs. are gone. The reading of my latest lab work was music to my ears: ”Everything is normal or better than normal, no diabetes, no more morbid obesity.”
A lot of people ask, “How was I able to make such a drastic change in my life?”
My ability to commit to the change is best summed up by author Ken Lodi from his book, Tapping Potential:
“People who are highly motivated to succeed make decisions with 100% conviction. Their determination is intense, and they believe they will succeed. They focus on those abilities that will make their dreams a reality. Tapping our potential requires us to focus on the talents and qualities that we have and believe that those qualities are ingredients for success.”
Believe you can and you will.
[Editor's Note: To complement her decisive commitment to change and achieve, Celine methodically altered her diet and eating habits. These changes directly contributed to her amazing weight loss and dramatic improvement in her health. Celine next describes, in her own words, the strategic, life-changing changes she made.]
After my gastric bypass surgery, I severely shifted my eating habits and exercise routine.
One of the biggest challenges gastric bypass patients face is the need to ingest enough protein a day to retain and build lean muscle mass. Red meat, chicken, and sometimes fish becomes a challenge due to the new stomach's size and inability to properly digest hard meats. The best protein alternative was soy, but one can only eat so much tofu before that gets boring.
The best soy product that I have found by far is the SuperSOY™ product. Its health benefits, texture, and easy adaptability as an alternate in meat dishes makes cooking and eating quite a delight. By default, my husband has also lost almost 40 pounds from the new menu as well. We highly recommend the SuperSoy product and swear by its health benefits."*

"You don't have to eat beef to get taste, texture, and protein." That's the central message of a recent article entitled "Meaty Alternatives" by Sophia V. Schweitzer, published December 31, 2003, in Island Scene Online, the online publication of Hawaii Medical Service Association (HMSA).
This informative article discusses our body's need for protein and alternative sources (to animal-derived foods) for comparable amino acid packages. Today's market offers a growing variety of "meat analogs"--non-animal products that "do their best to taste like your favorite beef, chicken and pork dishes, and look like your average hot dogs, hamburger patties, chicken nuggets, cold cuts, sausages, and even Buffalo chicken wings."
