Great News!

Hello Everyone I hope you are all weathering the weather wherever you live! Cooled down a lot here one the east coast. FINALLY! Now for my wonderful news.. It has been awhile since I last posted. If you remember I had a bit of a difficult time with my TT. I wound up needing a blood transfustion in the hospital. Well, let me back this story up a bit. Prior to my PS I had gained back 25 pounds because I had discovered I can hold down sugar etc, and began grazing. Not too smart on my part. Well, immediately following my PS I told my surgeon I wanted to start all over again as though I were a brand new post op WLS patient. I went cold turkey on the sugar and grazing and started eating the proper way that we were all taught. I am happy to say it is now 5 weeks since I have had any sugar or junk food. I have lost 25 lbs since PS and am now down to 150 lbs. My original goal was to lose another 5 lbs but if I cant, I would be just as happy to stay where I am. I am now eating properly, stopping when comfortable, and I weigh myself daily because I am NOT going to EVER gain back any weight after all the trouble it took me to get where I am now, weight wise and tummy wise. I have gotten back on the wagon and never plan on falling off again! Wish me luck----I hope that with age this will not change anything weight wise. I truly know now that WLS IS JUST A TOOL, and it must be taken seriously. Thanks for listening as I felt I had to share. Stay safe and COOL Hugs Marianne
