Well I am a 28 year old female, that lives in southern MO. I have a great family my husband Tom and wonderful little girl Kaylee. I love my family so much I new I had to do something drastic if I wanted to be here in the future for them and myself so I chose to have gastric bypass surgery. I had open due to my size but hey it was worth it if it saves my life and allows me to be with my loved ones.
i am down to 28, never thought i would see that number on a scale. had my panni and it went well. not i need and upper stomach panni and boob job, and arms, back, legs, and i am good to go. haaaaa
OMG i finally hit it!!! 299 pounds and i havent seen this number really since like 7th grade!!! i am over the moon! i dont know much more to say. i did go see my plastic surgeon on the 23rd and he said stomach and boobs first then back, arms, and lastly legs. which is not a big deal i wear capri pants anyway. this all could be happening before the end of the year. that is so exciting and scary at the same time. that is it for now.
So last week I got on the scale at my PCP office and I was at 305. I really havent seen that number since well hell 7th grade at least. It felt so good. I was more then thrilled with this. It puts my BMI at 45 and i started at 74 point something. I have noticed that I have been doing a lot of stress eating but now that i know it and recognize it i can deal with it. I hope i am an inspiration to all who are on this journey or about to start this journey. I am here to talk if you have questions!!!
i have hit 180 pounds down. i am now 333lbs. it is crazy to think that last year at this time i was on my way to the doctor to do all my inital visits. i have done so much lately. i have met new people on here and made a really good friend (amanda) from this site. she is like my little angelette.ha she had surgery in december of 07 so i have been there for her. it is nice to have someone my age and someone going threw the same thing. i know i have a great support system but amanda actually understands how i feel and that is nice.
Christmas was great!!!!!! I feel great, and life is great. I have lost 162 pounds as of the 27th of Dec. and I am at 341. WOOOHOOOO check out my new pics.
My story. Well that is a good one.lol I like any other person was born an average weight baby. When I was 3 or so it was obvious that I had a weight problem. My parents fought a lot and I repressed that with eating it became my best friend. I literally would sneak food in the middle of the night or I would do the dishes after a meal just so I could stuff my face more and more. My parents split when I was 12 and we moved. I was in 7th grade and trying to be a new kid at school is hard but to be the new fat kid at school is even harder. I stuffed my emotions even more. We moved 2 more times til we landed here in Missouri. I hated school here at first I entered 8th grade in the middle of the year. Now I was the new kid that was fat and everyone was ready to make fun of the new fat kid. I ended up finishing school at this school. My senior year of high school I could barely fit into the desk it was a really tight fit and when I graduated I weighed somewhere around 375 lbs. By the time I was 21 and met my husband I was at 400lbs. I ate and ate, I ate when I was happy, sad, scared, nervous, tired, and bored. I ballooned up to 503 lbs that was my highest noted weight. I hate to say it but ya that was it 503 I had surgery on March 15th of 2007 and now have begun the hardest thing I have ever done. I know I am doing this for myself and family I plan on seeing my daughter grow up and to have a mom that can do things with her. I also plan on riding roller coasters with my DH because he loves them and I want to share that with him.
