My name is Cheryl Laprade.  I have been married to my husband, Mike, for almost 19 years and we have 4 children, Lizzie-17, Rachel-15, Hannah-11, and Josh-9.  I grew up in an overweight home and learned at an early age to use food to numb myself.  We have had a rocky relationship ever since.  The smallest I ever was as an adult was after the birth of my first daughter.  I was around 175 when I got married and about 160 after she was born.  I was very sick during my pregnancy.  It didn't take me long, however, to start packing it back on, and then some.  After the birth of my second daughter, I was well over 200 pounds.  Fast foward to the birth of my son-I was around 275.  Then I tried the Atkins diet and lost around 50 pounds.  The trouble is, I had trouble living like that, went back to my old ways, and gained the 50 plus.  I have tried WW, LA Weight Loss, plus many others.  I am excited about having WLS.  I am now around 350-not 100% sure but will know by the end of this week when I go to the dr.s and know it is now or never.
