Building my life journey
Donation protected
I had the sleeve surgery in March of 2015. I lost 100 pounds but then in Nov 2015 our son died unexpectedly from a blood clot and multiple bilateral pulmonary embolisms. My life was frozen for 4 years. It was a long hard time until I felt a bit normal. Then in September of 2020 my daughter died unexpectedly from the same thing as our son. I've struggled with sticking to the plan and regained 35 pounds. Recently I have lost 20 of that and my goal is to lose an additional 20 to 30. Because of the weightloss, I have sagging skin, arms, belly etc. Plastic surgery is something I am looking forward to, to begin my life again. Grief is hard and it wears on your face. My goals are for a tummy tuck and muscle repair and a brachiaplasty for my arms. Those bother me the most as clothes don't fit correctly. Breasts can wait .... We all want to look and feel good and being so down, I really want to at least feel as though I look better. I'm married to the love of my life and without him and God, my life might not be. I have two children on earth still, along with 7 grandchildren that I love with all of my heart. I am so thankful for this phenomenal group. What a blessing to find and be accepted. I've already blessed the current winner and am thrilled to see she has surpassed the halfway point in two days! Thank you all.
