For anyone who remembers me I was a big big girl. Well not anymore Im getting smaller as I type. I always had an issue with my weight. I didnt pig out I just never watched what I did eat. I was very active growing up me and my friends always walked around from the time we got out of school til it was time to come home all we did was walk around the neighborhood. Then when we got bikes we rode everywhere so it wasnt that I wasnt active. When I got older I got fatter. By then I wasnt active I would go to work and then go hang out but that was it. I found the most wonderful, and loving man I could have ever hoped for and he loved me the way I was. I only wish I could have loved myself as much as he did (does). I was miserable with how I looked if anyone really looked at me I was always happy and cheerful but deep inside I hated to look at myself. I was got upset when I couldnt run and play with my daughter because I was so big. I had to do something so I did. I decided to have gastric bypass. I researched it online and I just wished I could be one of the sucess stories I read about on Obesityhelp.com. I tried to have it done locally by a doctor here but he then got injuried and moved away so I had to try to get it done by the baratrix in ypsilanti but my husbands insure wouldnt cover it then they sent me info for a doctor here and I made an appt we did some test and boom they got me a date. September 19th. 2005 That is an important date for 2 reasons. One it is my wedding anniversay and Two its my rebirth!! It has been one heck of a year. About a month before surgery I weighed in at 350 or a little above I was to big for my doctors scale. (go figure) So I went to my first appt. with my nutrionalist and was told I needed to go on a low fat no sugar diet. I research all the fast food resturants to see what i could eat. She told me I could only have 10 grams of fat for each meal. Trust me I really was like i'm never gonna make it. My savor was Taco Bell lol I could have 2 chicken soft tacos elfresco (meaning no cheese) and that was my lunch or supper when I wasnt home. I started eating crabmeat and lots of tuna fish and stopped drinking pop. And you know I lost 30 lbs in the 1 month before my surgery so I knew I could do this surgery.
