I had a decision to make...and it was not a very hard one to make. Lose the weight or lose the love of my life. My husband had given me an ultimatum...lose some weight or he would leave me. Now this may sound mean to some of you but I couldn't hold it against him. We are young and I was holding us back from doing the fun things we wanted to do. So I started my weight loss surgery plan in April 2007. I had my surgery November 2007 and it was the best thing I had done. I started the process weighing in at 315 lbs. As of today, which is 7 months post surgery, I am 105 lbs lighter. I feel so much better and have some much more energy. My husband and I have a loving relationship again and we are able to do everything that we want to do now. His ultimatum was because of his love for me...he had thought I had given up and in a sense I guess I had. I had tried so many diets with success and then failure that I didn't think there was any hope for me anymore. This surgery has been such a learning tool for me that I learn something new everyday. I've learned different ways of eating that are much healthier for me and also now for my husband because we are in this together. Although he hasn't had the surgery, he's willing to eat healthier so that we can enjoy our lives together. We have future plans of a family and enjoying our time together. We like to go hiking, and will have many opportunities to do so now. I am back to riding my horses instead of just watching them in the pasture. I've gotten my life back and I love it!
