Starting on a new journey

I haven't been on in a long time, I am hoping to do a blog and or video of each step of my journey or both. For right now my brother and husband is my only support system right now who believes that I do need this and this thing I am talking about is weight loss surgery. My family and probably don't believe I need it and it's going to be a waste of time. To start with I am 5'3 225/230lbs which puts my BMI at 39.9/40 and I can say I have been over weight for about 12 or so years. I have always been bigger then my parents and sister and brother but not where I was needing to loss a ton weight at that time the weight didn't hit me until I go pregnant with my first child at 17 and then I lossed some after she was born not a lot. Then once I moved out and graduated from high school is when my weight went out of control. I ate what ever I wanted with out thinking about what it would do to my body I was almost blind to the fact that I gained so much wieght until we got family pictures taken in 2006 but I was so young and so stupid and didn't care. Then I got pregnant again and gain about 15/20lbs and lost most but about 5/10lbs and then in 2009 I had to get knee surgery due to genetic and my weight I was probably about little over 200lbs and then I got pregnant again but lose that baby and two months after that I got pregnant again and had a hard time with that pregnancy and gains about 20lbs lost about 10lbs at that time making me about 210lbs and then I was worrying about my weight and started to watch what I ate and by no means did I eat healthy. Then one time at a family group thing I seen my aunt to got weight loss surgery and she looked amazing and then I started my research and then I stopped just because my doctor at that time didn't think I would make the guide lines which he was right I was denied so lost all hope from there. I still kept it in my mind and then we lost our medical but I did quit smoking in September of 2011 and lost about 20lbs with alli and got pregnant agian and this time I gained like 35/40lbs the day I gave birth to my son I was 241lb and got my tubes tied no more babies at all for this girl. I started to watch what I ate and portion control I was able to get down to 225 and I have been stuck there for 3 years now don't get me wrong have lost 10lbs here and 5 lbs there but I would gain it all back plus some. I have tired alli, herbal life, slim fast, slim quick,it works(it don't work), we go to the YMCA and eating ways we can only get food with our food stamps and food banks to feed all 6 of us. I finally made the leap to go to my first weightloss surgery metting on Oct 14 and we will go from there.

It's been a long road coming....

So my life has changed in many ways over the last two years. I have blogged in that time too, May 4th of 2016 I got my weight loss surgery, then on March 2nd 2017 I had to have emergency surgery to get my gallbladder out due to rapid weight loss. I did get a job on October 21 2017 as a caregiver and that has been a rocky road also. I am almost to my 2 year weight loss anniversary and I have lost almost 100 pounds and it has been the hardest road I have even been down. In the first year I lost 70lbs and was stuck for a very long time but the last year has been where I have been dropping the pounds but I still have to be careful on what I eat and drink because I can still gain the weight back. I still have to eat smaller meals but I find it that the last year I don't get hunger pains any more so I tend to forget to eat but I have been real good about get my water in and I do drink between 49 to 80 or more oz in water a day. I think working has helped me lose most of the weight since ...

Surgery day 5/4/16

So today was my day I couldn't be any happier. My surgery day finally came 5/4/16. I was so scared and so nurves but once they wheeled me back and helped me into the OR table I was out. Once out of surgery I was so tired and so sore but still in and out of things. My mom brought my kids up and I loved that so much and then my bestie came with her friend and then my husband came and I loved it so much. Once they left I did a lot of sleeping and waking since the nurses come in about every 2hrs or so to take vitals and give you meds. Thursday was by off a really bad day for me I was so sick and in so much pain but I didn't want to complain. I went home Friday and Friday I was feeling good and so ready to go home.
