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.
