OOOOWeeee!! Where do I start....Well, I have been married for 8 years. My husband and I were High School sweethearts. He was 18 when we got married, and I was 20. I weighed 160 when we got married. We were very happy. Then, a tornado destroyed our first home. That's when the weight started to increase. little by little. We moved to a different town, so he could play college golf and that is where we had our first child. My daughter was born in Dec. 2002. I hated being away from my family and I chose food to soothe me .Who doesn't? In 2004, my husband graduated from College.............and we seperated. I didn't like having all the responsibiliy of working, while he stayed home. I lost 50 pounds while we were seprerated. This was one of the hardest times of my life. Later that year, we decided to make it work, and needless to say, I got pregnant for a second time.She was definitely a suprise to us! But we became more excited about the pregnancy as time went on. We had our second daughter on Oct. 2005. My weight has really increased since then. I just can't keep the weight off. I have tried WW, The Master Cleanse, Adapex, and everything else, under the sun. My husband and I decided at the first of this year, 2007, that maybe I should look into WLS. I had NEVER wanted to resort to WLS before. In fact, I didn't think anyone should have WLS. I was just jealous. But anyway, to make a long story short my surgery date is April 30, and I am super excited about starting my "NEW" life.
