Tiffleigh 7 Posted October 14, 2014 Hi my name is Tiffany I am 45yrs old and have 3 beautiful adult children. I have 25yr old twins, Makala came first then 14 mins later her brother Matthew arrived. I had them natural and they were over due and had to be induced. I gained about 35lbs but lost most of it at the hospital. It was all baby weight. She was 6lbs 5oz. And he was 4 lbs and he was only 4lbs 7ozs, but they both were healthy and came eight home. Then 5yrs later I gave birth to my son Jacob and that's when the weight started piling on. The marriage was not the best and finally after 20yrs we divorced.I decided to stop driving after I got my own place. I have bipolar and very high anxiety and have wrecked every I have driven. So after 2yrs of being divorced and walking and taking the bus everywhere I los a lot of weight. I then met my soul mate and he did all the cooking and within 2yrs gained 150lbs 6 months ago I started the Sleeve diet and they summited my ins and told me it would be a 3 to 12 week wait and my ins was approved within 24hrs. My surgery date is Nov 20!!I. I'm excited but nervous too. I smoke the ecig and knowi I have to give that up for awhile. I'm a Pepsi whore and am still drinking it today, because I know after surgery ill never be able to drive it again! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1Day1Life4Now 882 Posted October 14, 2014 Congratulations on getting your surgery date. It is a very positive and life changing procedure and you will love it. You just have to decide what is most important in your life, getting to a healthy weight or smoking and drinking sugar laden drinks. The very strict restrictions are actually temporary so don't think you will never have another pepsi...it just isn't so. It might take a year but you will at some point in time be able to drink them. My question is why would you want to once you have kicked the habit... Anyway, good luck to you and hope all goes well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tiffleigh 7 Posted October 14, 2014 My hand was getting tired when I wrote my Bio and don't know how to add to it.. my boyfriend and SOUL MATE and BEST FRIEND EVER for almost 3 yrs past away of liver disease on June 26 this year. My Dad passed away in April this year, so its been very hard on me and my family!!!! I miss them both so much!!!! As far as the Pepsi, I will not EVER drink it again I've gone along time without it and once you get the cravings of it out of my system I'll not want it again.I am NOT looking to mess this up!!!!

Tiffleigh 7 Posted October 14, 2014 Thank you if it wasn't for my faith, family and friends I don't know where I'd be. I know both of them would be proud of me and both knew before they passed that I was starting on this journey, but I of course I wish the could have been here to see it thru and be my cheerleaders!!!
