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.

Approved!

I am one that usually likes suspense, but I needed to title this one 'approved' because I am SO excited.  I have been out of town for almost a week and I returned to a letter of approval from my insurance company.  It says I needed to call my dr's office to find out when they scheduled my surgery - but.... I am approved!  That word has made my day, and now it's also going to change my life.  There's a date set, it's going to happen.  Finally, after years of wanting this and trying to get it, I've been approved!!

I've also decided that now is the time to tell people near me and let my blog out.  I am going to be losing weight, becoming healthy and active and my life will be different from now on.  I'm going to be learning new habits and hopefully changing the way my whole family does things - we all need to change, we all need to be healthier!

I have a pre-op physical scheduled and a 2nd consultation with my bariatric doctor.... and my surgery is scheduled for May 11th!  There, I said it... it's scheduled and on May 11th, I'll start a new journey to be a better person, to be a healthier person, to be a stronger women.  I'm so happy that this is really going to happen!!
