Well' hello and here goes. I am 28 years old and 257 pounds. I am married to a wonderful man named dave, and i have 4 children and 1 step son all under the age of 10. my mother was diagnosed with high blood presure ,diabetes and high cholesterol when she was 36. she is 47 now and not well.
My mom has an appointment with a heart specialist on wednesday to try and clear up some blockages. my mom has a bmi of 36 but she's not healthy enough for the gastric bypass surgery just yet. (we are working on it though.)
I on the other hand, have a bmi of 45 and, even though I am considered to be healthy enough for the surgery , i am still a bit worried. I began weight management classes on january 5th 2007. i have 2 more classes to go and, i have just finished my pre operative testing. my life is pretty stressful i guess. being heavy is something i have been dealing with my whole life. but after my son was born in feb 2006 i had my 1st c-section and since then, I haven't even been able to get back to my pre pregnancy weight. i weigh as much as I did the day before my son was born and he was almost 10 pounds.
So i guess I could say that is one of the reasons why I am a little stressed that and, not being able to function the way i used to even 50 lbs ago. and my moms health problems are making me very upset for 2 reasons. the first naturally is the fact of her becoming worse with her conditions. and the 2nd is that I could most certainly be right behind her. i hope that this new place that i have joined will be helpful and supportive in my journey to my new life of sacifice and good health. feed back appreciated! michelle
