Hello guys...I did not do a very good job of telling my story from the beginning. So I'll go back a little. In 2004 I gave birth to my little girl. During that pregnancy, I literally "ate for two". I gained 66 pounds with that pregnancy. After she was born, the weight did not come off, and then we got pregnant again. By the end of 2007, I had gotten to about 270 pounds and was miserable. I have an amazing husband, two beautiful children, a great career, and I'm very involved with my church and I love the Lord with all my heart. But my weight was killing me. My feet, knees, hips, and back hurt ALL the time, I was diagnosed with clinical depression, started on medication, and was really at my wit's end. I had my gastric bypass surgery on April 14, 2008 and have never looked back. As I write this, I am 3 and a half months out, and I've lost 67 or 68 pounds. I feel SO much better. This decision is truly life changing.
