This is my first post.  I would like to Thank everyone for all of their support.  I am looking for friends on this site.  I hope to have the surgery soon.  I have my psych eval tomorrow.  I hope they don't commit me!! LOL!!  I work as an LPN, at a mental institution.  That job is very stressful.  My proudest job, and the reason why I would like to have the surgery is my children.  I have two beautiful daughters, Emilia is 5, and Myla is 1 1/2.  As soon as I figure out how to post pictures, I will.

I have been overweight since i was a teenager.  I remember getting on a scale in the 6th grade and thinking to myself wow i weigh 160 pounds.  I started on a diet and lost a bit of weight.  I can't blame my weight on my parents, but i look back and think it would be hard not to gain weight, with Little Debbies and Hamburger Helper as your main food groups.  

I entered highschool around 175 pounds, every year i gained weight and didn't lose any.   Fastforward to the year 2001.  I got pregnant with my first child, and went to a prenatal visit and found out i weighed 291.  I was very surprised i weighed that much.  It really shocked me.  I ate very healthy during my pregnancy.  I craved fruits and vegetables.  I had lots of morning sickness and lost 20 pounds.  I had my daughter in October of 2001 and weighed 270.  I thought i could keep the weight off, I was learning how to be a first time mom and kept the weight off for 6 months or so.  Thank goodness Emilia "Emme" was an easy, happy baby.  In 2002, I decided to go to nursing school.  I graduated in 2003 and all i can remember is how awful i looked in my graduation pictures.  All white is not flattering to a fat woman. LOL!  I continued to diet, lose a little, gain a lot back.  I finally figured out i'm an emotinal and stress eater.  I also realized that if i don't see results right away, i give up.  In 2004, i became pregnant with my second daughter.  My weight was 291 and I gained weight rapidly with her, because i was hungry all of the time.  I had morning sickness in my last trimester, i lost some weight even though i wasn't doing it delibertly.  When I went in to have my scheduled c-section on June 10th 2005, i weighed my heaviest, 305.  Myla was healthy and has been an easy baby.  I know truly blessed.  My daughters are everything, I've ever hoped for.  They make me smile, laugh and have wow moments all of the time.  I mean who knew i could create such cuties!! i know, i know all moms gotta brag.   Currently, i weigh 296.  I want to have the surgery to be healthier, and to be on this earth to see my children grow up.
