Hello everyone!
I have the same old story of being the heavy child and I grew into the heavy adult. I have always been happy being me. I smile often and laugh every day. I am married with 4 children (mm, 17), (kj 15), (el, 13), and (mt 10). And I have a precious puppy dog.
I was going through life with its many ups and downs, but none the less, strolling through life. My then 13 year old daughter became ill. It took 2 years of multiple trips to doctors and hospital stays. She was later diagnosed with a chronic pain disorder. Through medication and physical therapy, her pain is now "livable." For me during that time, my heart broke. I gained easily 30 pounds. For the first time in my life, I did not like the person looking back at me in the mirror.
I had thought about wls many times before, but never had the support of my husband. I am happy to say my husband is now on board! I am in month #2 of my 6 month pre op requirements. And I have lost 30 pounds just by following my nutritionist's guidelines. So happy again!
Thanks,
Nancy
