Introduction Text Had Roux-N Y gastric bypass on 11/18/15. Between health issues and esteem problems - this weight needed to come off! I started in the severely obese category. I am post-menopausal due to a complete hysterectomy '99 (9 months after my last son's birth) due to recurrent rapid growing fibroid tumors. I have been diagnosed with Type II diabetes, hypertension and GERD. I also suffer from COPD/ACOS (asthma, COPD and overlap syndrome) due to #1 having asthma since a child and then smoking for 35 years (quit 7 years ago cold turkey). I also have severe sleep apnea with hypopnea (O2 sats drop below 65% for long periods) and somewhat limited on what I can do without having to hit my inhaler or using my oxygen. However, I am determined to make my goal happen in 2016 of 125 lbs., hopefully by 8/22 (anniversary). In 20 years I pretty much became twice the woman my husband married. I would love to get back down to a reasonable weight - be in the healthy category instead of morbidly obese....

To be between 125 - 130 lbs! To go from XXX large to XXX sexy!

Stage 2 bariatric - 2 - 4 tablespoons of cottage cheese or beans or egg 3 times a day with 48 oz of fluid (water, decaf tea, sugarfree jello)

Mom of 4 (ages 36, 34, 19 and 17) and married to the most wonderful man who spoils me rotten (yet he can be a pain in the butt!). Living in SE Virginia near the coast, I'm a retired military spouse.
