Right there with you, I was 141 on my first Doctor visit when I found out i was pregnant. When I had my c-section i was 167 pounds. Two years later I am at 147 and struggling bad!! I know i will never fit in a size 2-4 again and i find myself wearing yoga pants, t-shirts and pet ins shoes everyday. I hat to dress up and really don't like buying and shopping for new clothes. I also had my tubes tied at the same time can this affect you from not losing weight? I mostly have skin in my belly muffin top area and I can pull my skin over my boobs. It is so frustrating and makes me ill and i really want it removed but that is not an option because of money issues. Considering i had surgery July 2010 and lost close to 200 pounds i shouldn't complain but it us so hard not to. Here are a few pictures of my journey.

I had the sleeve done 7/9/10. I lost a total of 200 pounds everyone thought I looked horrible but pitting on a size 4 felt wonderful!! I had never been thin in my whole life till I got the sleeve. Feb 2012 I found out I was pregnant and I just had gaul bladder surgery and two days later I took a test and it was positive. They gave me a test and they said it is negative. The doctor even told me that my stomach was still small like it should be. What I'm getting at I guess is that I had my son 10/19/12 and I only gained 27 pounds and I thought I was going to die !! I worked too hard to get the weight off. At ten days after my son was born he was put in the hospital due to low oxygen. We went to three different hospitals and none of them still today can't tell us what exactly went wrong. He had oxygen till he was 9 months and he got his feeding tube out this pass march. We are truly blessed in so many ways. I would stay with him every night for two and a half months and I had a four year old at home so confused. I was stressed and stressed because. So many thingS have change in out family and some days it is hard to deal with. I had lost 15 pounds after he was born and now I can't lose anything at all. I'm very frustrated at this point and don't fit in any of my clothes ! I wouldn't. Change a thing about my family but I just don't know what to do to get 15-20 off. With the two c sections and getting my tubes tied I feel so worn out and need to get my groove back and start exercising six days a week. Another problem is that my Husband is the only one working because I resigned from my teaching job die to taking care of my son. I just worry about that and I need advice on what to do and if this has happened to anyone else. Thanks, Dorothy
