Hi guys I’m Stephanie Yelwa. I’m 30 years old a wife and mother to 2 beautiful children both under 2 
I am a surgical technologist but with recent events decided to become a stay at home mom.
I started out in my early 20s at 297lbs in 2013. I decided to undergo VSG in August 2013 and eventually got down to 168 feb 2015. I maintained that weight until I met my loving husband in 2017 where I gained a little happy weight. We got married and had 2 babies. A girl and then just 3 months ago my baby boy was born.
I gained a total of 60 lbs! Although I consider all of it as happy/love weight I am very eager to get back to a healthier lifestyle. My family is my life and I can’t imagine not being around for them or even teaching them horrible eating habits that would put their future health in jeopardy.
Research and a longing for community and support lead me here and I just want to thank everyone for sharing their stories. I am highly motivated and I no longer feel alone. Here’s to the journey.
