Five years post-op. I feel better than I did in 2003 but...
I have re-gained 23 pounds. Because my weight has gone up, my feet are hurting again, my body is tired and achy and Its getting harder for me to climb stairs.
One major bummer is crossing my legs - its not as easy as it was 23 pounds ago.
My life took a back seat the past 2 years. Life happens and the unexpected all of a sudden becomes a priority.
I don't want to be miserable and fat again. It was nice when people I met described me as 'little' or 'skinny.'
I'll have to admit it was uncomfortable to have family, friends, co-workers notice me and comment that I was losing too much weight. I was still on the overweight scale but I felt good.
I didn't feel good when comments were made.
I'm getting back on track. I've made a goal to connect with a support group. I will begin there.
Have a beautiful day!
