Before my first child I attempted to gain weight because I was unhappy with my 106 pds frame. After having my daughter I went from a size 0 to a 9. I was 19 and did not maintain a healthy pregnancy. I fell for the I gotta eat enough for the baby meaning first two servings for me and third for the baby. I wish I had known better.


Since becoming a mother I have lost weight over the years. My weight has been between 130 - 220 pds. I had never maintained my weight loss long enough to truly be happy about it and that is what brought me to the surgery. I know that I can lose the weight but I wanted a tool to help me try and win this battle once and for all.


Since starting this journey it has been no walk in the park. My first couples of months were hellous and made me regret every day of my decision. Now my life is as if I have never had the surgery except for a few reminders such as the smell and taste of eggs and pork which I am done with...yuck.


The one thing that I will hope that everyone will learn is that the surgery is a tool and not an end all be all. I have still struggled with making good food choices and getting my but off the couch and exercising but my life is in a better place without so much fat holding me down.
