I firmly believe that without taking this measure and adding this tool that I am shortening my life

I firmly believe that without taking this measure and adding this tool that I am shortening my life and either will be dead or not able to function for my son without it. It took me 8 yrs to conceive my baby boy and the day he turned one I thought….what if this is the last birthday of his I get to celebrate. I tried soooo hard waking up before work to exercise logging my food…lost a few pounds and gained double that weekend. I can’t continue to live like this I need major help. That was just over 4 wks ago and I have surgery in under 5 wks. Nothing scares me more than no waking up to see my family but the thought of them finding me dead at 34 from a heart attack or stroke scares me more. I am 34 with aggressive hypertension 162/102 last dr visit on meds! My BMI is 54% eating freaking lettuce…..yes this surgery is scary but so is the alternative if you don’t get it for some of us…this isn’t an easy choice and it isn’t any easy way out. The successful participants change their life and lifestyle just like everyone else. #plussizeandshrinking #mommyfitness #fitmommy #plussizemommy #plussizemommyfitness #plussizefitness #healthyliving #healthylifestyle #beachbody #21dayfix #21dx #fitness #blackgirlsworkouttoo #wls #preop #vsg #lapband #prewls #gastricbypass #bypass #bariatricsurgery
