5 year update

Jun 22, 2011

OMG!! I did not realize it has been so long. So many things have happened in my life since my gastric bypass. Boy how life just flies by. The last time I posted I was pregnant and now Layla is 2 1/2. I only gained 35 pounds with this pregnancy and I was able to get it all of except for about 5 lbs. Much better than my two pregnancies pre weight loss surgery. Where I gained 65 lbs each pregnancy and never did get it all off. Layla was born perfectly healthy and on time at 7lbs 3 oz. She is now a wild and terrible two year old. As for me I am holding at 140 lbs, a far cry from my pre weight of 252. I pray everyday that I never go back to that. I continue not be able to eat much sugar, with 12 grams being my limit before I dump. Also, if I eat two much sugar I have a low blood sugar episode within about an hour. My tasted have still changed. I prefer baked and grilled, over fried. I also love fish, chicken and seafood. I would prefer not to eat red meat, but occasionally still do. The biggest thing that has happen to me lately is that I had to have back surgery for a degenerative disc. While I was out on leave for this and already having surgery, I opted to do plastics. This was the best decision that I have ever made for myself. I was just recently contact by my local newspaper. They want to interview me about my surgery and success. I love to share my story and hope that I am an inspiration to others. So I graciously accepted.
