Growing up I was skinny, in high school I just didn't believe it. It didn't help that my mother was constantly telling me how fat I was. I knew something was wring then with my body. My freshman year of college I ballooned up 70-80 lbs. I went from being skinny, to a girl who was fat and hated herself for it. I continued to have issues with my body, and in 2006 after years of thyroid issues, I was also diagnosed with a pituitary tumor with suspicion of PCOS. The tumor went away, the PCOS didn't. In 2012 when my husband and I decided to get married, we also decided that we would try right away for children. I knew it would be difficult with what I was told by Dr's, what I didn't realize was that it was virtually impossible. The last two years has been a struggle made even harder by my diagnosis of Intracranial Hypertension. I am at the point that no matter how well I eat the weight doesn't come off. I can't afford infertility treatments, and on Dr's recommendation to help with both PCOS and IH, I will be having gastric bypass. This is my last chance at becoming a mom naturally, and in the meantime I get to look great. Can't wait for the changes to come.
