Hello all
I am Jen. I had gastric bypass surgery June 6 2007 and have lost 110 lbs. Thank God I have not had any complications.
Married to my soulmate Leo for 9 years, I'm a proud Navy wife. Together we have 3 grown kids.
I am guilty of not participating in the group on here. I have been having mental health issues (after 7 years my meds stopped working. I am now on a combo that is helping)
Oh and Nat...I always need you!

This week it being spring break, I will see my PCP and get them started writing there letter and meet with the counseler for his component. the counselers component is part interview and a 2-3 hour pen an d paper test. I will have a sleep study done at the end of the month. My folks and sibling have sleep apnea now i'll find out if i do too.

Hi My name is Kathy,
I've had a weight problem all my adult life, I first heard about WLS was when I lived overseas in Japan, my friend who was a military wife got it done.. I got married and moved back to the United states with my husband as he got orders back to the U.S......I didn't think much of my weight, was enjoying life until I lost both of my parents to cancer in 04' and 08'. I was at the doctors office one day getting a check up and he told me, Kathy.. if you don't do something now.. your gonna follow your parents footsteps.. and that was a wake up call for me.. I wanted to be there for my husband and my two young children. My doctor studied my weightloss habits and suggested me to get WLS. I am thankful that he did cause April 5,2010 I was finally able to get my weightloss surgery. I'm three weeks out of surgery and I had already lost 27 lbs. Something I haven't been able to achieve in awhile. I'm starting to regain my health and energy back.. It's wonderful. but I'm still alittle bit confused as what to eat.. at this moment.. Yes my doctor gave me some guidelines on what to eat.. Soft and Pureed foods.. mostly high in protein..so I've been eating tofu, mostly baby foods, eggs, and I tried fish for the first time yesterday. and I'm drinking my Isopure and protein drinks.I want more variety in my foods.. any suggestions..??
