Well a little about me: I am currently 31 years old. I am Married to a wonderful man who is very supportive of me in all that I do. I have a 10 year old daughter that is so full of energy. I am ready to be able to keep up with her better. I have been over weight pretty much all my life. I tried so many fad diets along with programs but nothing ever worked out for me. After I married in 2010 my health took a turn for the worse I was diagnosed with severe kindey disease Membraneous Nepropathy (harding of the kindneys) which slowed me down and in turn i gained more weight. Then in May of 2012 I had an accident that tore out 5 disk in my back and was bed bound for about 3 months again piled on more weight. So I had decided at that point i needed to seek out medical help to loose weight. I started the process and was told that i needed to do the 6 month diet supervised to qualify. So i did. Then the month that I finshed my diet my Dr moved facilities and that put a set back on my surgery date because we had to get preapproved again through new hospital. Well Long story short in Jan I got the call I was approved and my surgery was scheduled for March 4, 2013. As you know I completed the surgery and everything went picture perfect. I was in Pain the first day but after that it was smooth sailing. Then two weeks after being home my parents came to visit and some how I caught a stomach virus, well lets just say i ended up staying 24 hours in the hospital due to severe dehydration. Only being two weeks out i couldnt keep enough fluids in by mouth so i went in for IV's but im Home now and I feel great. Good thing about the hospital visit was that my Dr went ahead and advanced met to Puree foods 2 weeks early because he said my surgery had went so well and I did so good with the liquid faze that he felt i could advance early. After 6 weeks of liquids that was a blessing! So any advise from others along the way will be greatly appreciated and Im very excited to be on my new journey to a healthier me!
