My name is Thrisha, im a newbie to the site, but ever so thankful to have found a support site.

Some of my history...

Im 30yrs old, severely diabetic, with pcos. my weight started being a daily struggle about 5 years ago, when my diabetes got so bad I had to be placed on an insulin. about a year ago I was placed on an insulin pump which helped me balloon to my highest weight ever of 213 on my 5"3 frame. My surgery was roux en y, gastric bypass on 10-17-2012. I weighed in at 201 pounds, today I am 27days out and 185. on nov 4 I had my gallbladder removed by emergency surgery. since then I have been hospitalized for nausea and vomiting, and dehydration. Im currently on the mushy stage2 diet.

I look forward to chatting with all of you. Also I'm very open to information suggestions or heck even well wishes.
