May 2019 update
May 01, 2019
Well, a lot has happened since 2012. My weight ballooned back to 244 lbs. Gallbladder trouble, work stress, you know the drill..but mostly bad choices. I have fought my way back down to 207 lbs and continue to lose. I do have an mportant note to offer others. I was never much of a drinker for most of my life. A glass or two and I’d switch to water. However...a few years after my gastric bypass, I found Chardonnay to be infinitely attractive. May be it was the food addiction transferring to alcohol; I really dont know. But I began to drink a lot. First, mostly bingeing on the weekends, but proceeding to daily drinking over the years. This contributed to both weight gain and declining health. I managed to stop entirely about three weeks ago. THAT first week was awful and clearly pointed out that my body had developed an alcohol addiction, as I experienced shakes, night sweats, etc. No fun. So do your best to avoid that outcome. I hope to be back on this blog in a few months with much better news about my weight loss!
