I've put myself and my health on the back burner for atleast 12 years. Thats the last time i was what i considered thin but i worked really hard to get that way and it only lasted afew years. Life got in the way preventing me for going to the gym. I had more children. Ive pretty much always been the cubby girl. Now im a 32yro mother of 4 +3 wonderful step children. A few years ago i successfully lost 40lb with WW i was feeling great but i had an accident that left me unable to excersise and i put on that 40+40. Immediately following i got pregnant and it was the most difficulty ptegnancy i had ever heard of constantly in the hospital and put on bedrest from the very begining. I was ecstatic when i had a beautiful healthy baby girl but had never felt so disgusted in my life with my appearance. I started looking into bariatric surgery. After speaking with my husband we found a wonderful team and my life has been going in a much healthier direction. When i decided to begin this journey i was 285lbs. On the date of surgery... and yes i was scared out of my mind crying with my nurse....i was 269lbs Today 12 days out i'm 254lbs!!!! Everyday hasnt been easy but i feel so much better already.
