My name is Angela, I had surgery on November 15,2010. My start weight was 250, my goal weight is health weight. Ii have a young son that I had late in life, and he always ask who will take care of him. If something happen to me because of me being overweight. Thats when I knew I had to do something, I didn't wnat my child to worry about that. Plus I want to give him the same chance my older children have. I have total of 3 kids age 26,20 and 7. My hubsand is very supportive with my decsion at first he was upset or a little scare but, once he had all the information he was okay with me taking my step.
This was a hard pill for me take, since I have always been skinny...till I move to NC. When i move here I was a size 8 that was in 1994. Since then I have went from a siz 8 to a 22. I didn't see the weight come on me. But, once I took a long look in the mirror I knew. I have tried weight watchers, slimfast, and Jenny Craig. Nothing worked for me.
Since my surgery my first week I had regrets, I felt sad that I did this to my self. I was nervous with the fear of vomiting and other this that might happen. I was afraid of the food I might be miss. Thanksgiving was the hardest but I made it ....I reallize that my son will miss me more then I will miss FOOD.
So I am on a new journey and I will handle this new way of eating with care. :huggie:
