Bringing My 20's To A Close With A New Healthy Me!

[chantal 4]

I received my approval phone call Friday and began my pre op diet Saturday morning!!! I am soooo excited to begin this journey. I have not told anyone other than my mom and my husband. My husband tells me I don't need the surgery however he is very supportive - my mom not so much. She tells me nothing is wrong with me that there are many other options - yep been there done that. I've lost >150lbs in the past 4 years (combined weight loss following two c sections) I have 3 children ages 5, 3, 5 months

Yay! Congratulations =) Maybe your mom will turn around when she sees how great you're doing post surgery.

Congratulations! It was the best decision I ever made and I couldn't be happier with my progress! You need to be around for your kids and you need to be healthy for them and that's what you're doing. Next time mom says something negative about it, just tell her that you're doing it for your children and as a mother you'd hoped she'd understand that.

I am sure that you mother will come around once she sees how great you feel, and how much it improves your quality of life!

Each day will get a little easier. In a few weeks you will feel like yourself again and the pain will just be a memory.

Here's to closing out our 20's in a healthy body and living longer for our babies!
