I am a mother of 2 beautiful children, a boy 7 yrs old and a girl, 4 yrs old. I am married to a wonderful man who has always been there for me and even though he has his fears he is supporting me 100%. We have been together 10 yrs now and I have always been overweight, but he always loved me just the way I was saying what attracted him most was my smile, how it could light the way in the darkest of rooms. Yeah we love each other like crazy.
For over 3 yrs I dieted and worked my way from a size 34 weighing in at 427 lbs and got down to a size 26 at 359 lbs. But a couple of months ago I reached a plateau. The more I tried the lesser I lost. I would lose a pound every 2 weeks if I was lucky.I want to have another baby and along w my OB Gyn I agreed to not conceive till I got down to 200 lbs. So I basically forced my PCP to write a referal for the bariatric surgeon.
I am having a gastric bypass on January 27th 2010. I have completed most of my testing and I am still dieting. I look forward t the new me, that will be able to add to our family, watch them grow and grow REALLY old alongside my husband.
