A little about Me and Surgery!

Well this is my first post. I never had a blog before.. I thought maybe there is someone out there, who can relate to me. Maybe I can bring humor, to those who have given up. Maybe I can inspire someone too! 
Let me tell you about myself.. The shorter version! My name is Kristina. I am married and have 3 kids. I met my Husband 7 years ago, when I worked at a bakery. I enjoyed my job, but later was terminated because of stupid policies. It's who you know in that store. There were others who did way worse than I did, but they were the "pals" of the managers. Right now, I am a homemaker, Babysit once or twice a week. I have been looking for jobs, haven't been successful.
I have recently decided to have the Gastric Sleeve. (weight loss surgery) I didn't realize how complicated the process would be. There are support groups, you must attend. Clearance from heart doctors and the regular doctor. GI and endoscopy procedures. Plus, 4 months of losing weight. That has been the biggest challenge. Which makes me think, can I be successful with the gastric sleeve? I want this more than anything!! I hate the person I've become.. I can't stand how I look. I don't want to go anywhere.. I have been overweight, for a very long time. But I have never been this big before. My own Husband doesn't know how much I weigh!! Its so bad that if we have an appointment at the doctors together, the nurse says to me; last time you told me your weight. Is it the same? lol! With my Husband she says; your 165, is that the same? 165 is my goal weight!!! 
My Husband is great though.. He is a Chef and now he has become my personal chef.. It makes healthy meals for me. I should start posting recipes!! Is salmon is awesome, but I am not digging the spinach salad (yuck) Well, I will be back tomorrow... Motherhood calls. Tah for now :)
