Hello everyone! A little about myself, I am 44 years old, married, and the mother of 3 amazing sons. My 21 year old is an Airman First Class in the USAF. My middle son is 9 and in 3rd grade. My husband and I also just had a baby in November 2010. Yes, we are also the proud parents of an 18 month old. We kicked around the idea of having another child and never thought it would really happen. It did and we couldn't be happier!
I have a Master's in Nursing and have worked at the same company for (gulp) 22 years! I also teach at a local university part-time (one class). We love to camp (in a camper, not tents!) and my husband and I both ride Harleys in our spare time. I just got my license in 2009 so I am still a scared newbie.
My weigh loss story is a little different. I've always been thin but have really put on some weight over the past 2.5 years, esp after my baby was born and I was finishing grad school. I'm excited about WLS and feel it is a tool I can use my entire life to get back to the "old me". I need to break bad eating habits and relearn the good ones. Currently my BMI is 38 and I would love to lose about 85 pounds.
Good luck to all who read this. This is a life-changing event and I wish you all the happiness!
Jill
