I started out my life as a average weight american child, who was taught to eat everything on their plate as there are starving children in the world. i didn't really start having a weight problem until i got pregnant at 16 and ate whatever i wanted whenever i wanted it. i gained 50 lbs. and never lost it. since then i have gained a few pounds every year. i have tried all kinds of diets and exercise and have lost 30 lbs. here and there but it never stays off. i am happily married to a wonderful man that doesn't care what size i am and we have two wonderful daughters. but i am sick of taking pills for back pain, head aches, heart burn, high blood pressure and now sleep with a cpap machine. so a year ago a joined the bariatric group through my doctors office and have followed all their guidelines and have a surgery date of July 24th for the sleeve surgery. It's time i take my life back and become healthy so i can live to be old and maybe see some grandchildren someday. I am nervous about the surgery as i have never had any! and for the 4 weeks after but am determined to get through this and start a new journey!
