3 month update
Sometimes I look back at all I have faced in the last 3 months and I wonder how I survived. Not only did I have to go through the abduction of my youngest son once... but twice as he was kidnapped yet again by his father just 2 weeks after I managed to get him back....and through it all.... had my DS and trying to cope and adjust to this new life changing procedure I had.
I don't comment very much on the forums but I am here every day reading and learning. Words cannot express the gratitude I have for my OH family.
I am happy to say that at my 3 month post-op date I lost a total of 75 lbs.... 21 of those were pre-op.. so 54 since surgery. I love looking at the ticker on my profile as I now have less weight to lose than I already lost. I am also so excited to see that my weight now is closer to the 200's than the 300's... yipppppppppeeeeee!!!!
Although taking my vits was quite a struggled in the beginning, I am on the ball now. I will be having my labs done next week.
Wishing you all the best.

Many times I find myself saying that I am not as strong as people think...and I truly believe I am not... but then I look back and I have to admit "I survived". It scares me to imagine what tomorrow holds and I cannot relax at all at the fear of my son being taken again... but... I can't allow myself to crumble.
I made the choice to have this surgery to give myself a longer life.... even with the hardships I have faced, I don't regret it at all
Thank you for your wishes!
