    Lynkaosgood got a reaction from Raymia in Sex..... Question for adults   
    I removed IUD last month, just shy of my 1 yr anniversary of sleeve surgery. My IUD slipped and was causing trouble, so I decided to have it removed and no birth control. Hubby chooses not to wear condoms... I want to have kids, but he wants to wait a bit until he is finished with nursing school in about 2 years. Well I downloaded the ovia fertility app and have been tracking my cycle. I don't initiate sex at all, but I'm always horny!! I just don't want him to think I got pregnant on purpose. We have been married for 5 years.

    Lynkaosgood got a reaction from Zoes.Realm in Goal weight achieved!   
    Congratulations!!! I am just a bit over a year post op from the gastric sleeve surgery 12/09/15. I'm 5'5 and highest weight was 288. I'm now down to 148. My goal weight range was 130-140. (Whatever I feel most comfortable at.) I have not exercised until now, had lots of health issues that prevented that post op. I'm not on birth control either, (IUD removed last month.)so I could get pregnant any time. It's a small fear that I will gain baby weight and can't keep it off.

    Lynkaosgood got a reaction from Monasongbird_4 in Losing the Dream (Mcdreamy that is) haunting parallels to my life   
    My name is Ashley. I watched last night's Grey's Anatomy and had a haunting flashback to my own life: When I was a newlywed my husband had gotten into a serious car accident with a semi truck on the highway. I had to go to the hospital to see my semi comatose husband who had just barely survived. I had received a police escort to said hospital and had to deal with millions of thoughts going through my head. I did not know what to expect when I had gotten there. I replayed every moment we were together thinking that it was the last one I would ever have with him. I bawled pretty hard that night, just needed to let some fear and other emotions out before my surgery. The image is the aftermath of Jacob's Accident.

    Hi my name is Ashley, and I am 31 years old happily married to my DH since August 2011. He is a former Army member, so we have had our fair share of moving, but as of now we are living in Colorado Springs, with another move in the works to who knows where just yet. (He is retired but still likes to move around). We have 2 lovable 60 pound furbabies. I was diagnosed with PCOS after gaining 100 pounds following a foot surgery. We have been trying to expand our family since before we were married (when I thought I was at an OK weight of 170). I have always been overweight, but never obese until recently. I lost my mom at age 53 due to complications due to her being obese,smoking and eating bad foods. She weighed just over 300 pounds and was 5'3. I reached my highest weight at 289 pounds and I freaked out,not wanting to end up like my mom. I knew my days of being obese were numbered. My husband Jacob is completely supportive of all of my decisions I chose to make in the name of being healthy and happy. My mother in law on the other hand is less than helpful, ( she lives with us, for now.) She came out and said that I was taking the easy route and I should try different options and just try to lose weight that way. When she found out I had miscarried a few months ago, she just said its all for the best... Just want to smack her sometimes. Her negativity fuels my desire to rub it in her face when I finally succeed at losing weight and finally becoming a mother. Sorry its so long, that's just how this journey got started.

    Lynkaosgood got a reaction from Italian Gal in Where are you on your weight loss journey?   
    Hi my name is Ashley Osgood, living in Colorado Springs CO. I started my journey for weight loss in December 2014. I had my gall bladder out in December by Dr Wilcox. He happened to be the head surgeon for weight loss surgery at Ft. Carson. That was the beginning for a whole new outlook on life then. I took a few months to think about the surgery and its complications. My mother in law lives with my husband and I. She was less than thrilled to hear of my decision for weight loss surgery. She is absolutely against it and is very vocal about it. Praying for our own place away from her very soon. Anyways I have completed my extensive checklist for tricare approval for surgery. I was finally cleared for surgery on 05/14/15, I was so excited I almost bawled!!! I made the soonest appointment with my surgeon June 10, yeah that seems like such a long wait for something you are looking forward to. Hopefully I can be seen earlier if possible. The wait times for actual surgery after you see your surgeon is about 3 weeks. looks like i might be a July sleever.

    Lynkaosgood got a reaction from mclorrie in Impatiently waiting...June sleevers?   
    Hi my name is Ashley and I live in Colorado Springs CO. I have tricare, so I have been receiving care at Evans Army Hospital. I started my journey when I was having my gallbladder out in December 2014 by the surgeon Dr. Wilcox. I have been unhappy about my weight and being diagnosed with PCOS. I saw a book in his consult room that told about bariatric surgery. I was sold even before he came into the room. We discussed it at length and he told me he was the one who performs those surgeries. He invited me to come to the next months info session to feel it out. I was absolutely sold!!!! Right now im waiting on my blood test results to come back on my Vitamin D levels. 4 weeks ago I was tested and I was dangerously low, so I was pushed back a month on getting my surgery. I have to wait until 4/30/15 to see the nutritionist about my levels, so excruciating!!! There is about a month waiting period once you have seen the surgeon and when you have surgery. So hopefully May/June sleeve surgery is on the horizon.

    My final straw was a long time building up-I was plump at 5'5 and around 200 pounds in college. During college I lost my mom at 53 due to a heart attack. She was almost 300 pounds and 5'3. I decided to try to get back into shape-made it to 160 pounds, gained it all back and then some a year after my wedding due to foot surgery (prevented me from walking too far for about a year. I am now quite unhappy with my 280 pound frame. I see pictures of myself and I don't recognize me. I was diagnosed with PCOS and I am doing this weight loss surgery because I want to be able to have children and and someday be around to be a grandmother, (my mom wasn't around to see that happen). I am 31 years old and just about to be put on the surgical waiting list (wait is about a month)
