ALL Aboard!!!

I have to say I am proud of myself even after I have reached lbs away from my goal I still keep eating the same healthy way, even days when I have my cheats I get back on the horse right away… I don’t give all of the credit to the surgery…. that’s only a small part of it, we all have to work VERY HARD to get to goal and even maintain weight… Its a 24hr 7 day a week 365 days a year job for life… But for me its now a labor of love, I have def moved over to the next phase which is making healthy eating a way of life… When I got my full blood workup and everything was basically straight As that’s when I knew everything im doing is for a reason not just fitting into nice clothes and able to ride the amusement park coaster…. I actually feel for the first time like I am part of society not an outcast that gets looked at like a freak wherever I went… Seems once you get into your correct weight… The villagers start looking at you diffrently, jobs become easier to obtain, the smiles get brighter….. All of you first timers just out remember we were all there just like you, its not easy by any means don’t ever let anyone tell you any different, your journey will be hard full of obstacles, hardships, emotions you cant control…. But I will promise you one thing the end result is worth it all… So strap yourself in its gonna be a bumpy ride n the gastric Coaster!!! ALL ABOARD!!!!

Great attitude! Love to see you keep up with you healthy lifestyle. someone the other day, lets call them negative nancy, was telling me they two people who did rny and gained their weight back. I was like oh well that sucks, I don't plan to be in that group and I see you don't either! Good job

Tell myself everyday I wont be in weight gain back group I have gone too far to tun back lol

Totally agree with your post.  You have done SUCH a GREAT JOB!!!  You are a month ahead of me and I feel the same way.  It is such a nice feeling that you can learn to trust yourself and your decisions. Roller coaster ride is the correct term :-)
