Well let me see where should I start...growing up I was a so skinny that my Grandmother used to pay me to eat she was so afraid that I was going to die from being so skinny! Then around age 13 I started putting on weight and it just kept coming then after each child I had the weight kept on coming! I felt that birth control helped contribute to my weight gain over the years. I have tried all the diets exercise would help me maintain a weight but not really lose weight I would lean out but that was it! I eat really healthy as anyone that knows me would tell you...so I think once I have my VSG I will be on my way to the new me! I have to be around to take care of my three boys they are 20 (he will be 21 the day after my surgery! Going to miss his party
) But I am hoping I will be home in time to catch the tail end of it! My middle son is 15 and my youngest is 10! I am a single parent and work full-time. I am doing this for me and my kids! I am still young enough that any borderline diseases that I have will be gone and I will be able to keep up after my kids and more able to help out my parents as they age! I have to teach my boys now to eat healthy because I love them so much I don't want them to have to make this kind of a decision with their lives I just want them to be happy and healthy always!
My life has been a struggle with hardships but I have gotten through those tough times and learned from it...I am sure that I will get through the tough times and move forward with this new life and healthy body!!
