I'm a 30-something year old wife and mother of three wonderful boys. After many years of emotional & mental issues, medication issues and (obviously) food issues, I have ended up overweight and tired all the time. Knowing my illnesses will not get better if I don't become healthier I had decided to start the long journey to Weight Loss Surgery (WLS) to better myself. I want to be the fun, healthy mom... and dare I say it?... the 'hot mom' & wife. Here's my journey before and after my gastric bypass surgery, along with some recipes.

Pictures

As an overweight person, we tend to hate pictures of ourselves.  No matter how confident we are at the moment, we truly don't want to look back at the way we looked at that very moment.  So, you can imagine when doing research for this type of surgery, it's very difficult to find progress pictures.  Before and afters... although there are some initial 'fat pictures' and then there's the final 'skinny pictures' there are rarely pictures in between.  I have decided to document my journey the best I can... to better help others who may be looking for that type of information and support.  I'll begin with how I looked a year ago - which is very similar to how I look now.  This was taken during Easter, 2014.  A rare, full body picture.


Keeping in mind I'm only 5'4, so it's very hard for my body frame to carry this weight.  Hopefully, soon, this will change.  Pictures... ugh, I hate pictures!
