Welcome! You're going to love the control you will have post WLS. Of course WLS isn't EASY but it's so much more doable than the traditional methods.
I am so close to being rid of my CPAP I can almost TASTE it!

Welcome to the LW board!
LOL!
I remember how funny it felt to be called a lightweight too! Especially since I was almost rounder than I was tall! I am 61.5 inches tall and my waist line was 55!
Congrats on the beginning of your journey!

Its hard to explain the physical changes. For me slowly as I got further away from surgery
I forgot that my RNY was a tool, not a cure for my morbid obesity
I quit journaling my food, weighing and measuring.
Got lazy about drinking enough water, too much coffee and tea.
I can eat more now. Got into the habit of grazing especially with stress. Menopause, insomnia, and hormone therapy, slowed things down a bit too.
Avoiding the scale and not journaling my food, were my 2 biggest mistakes.
I have heard, not sure it is true, but I know the human body is amazing, and that we do lose some of our malabsorption.
You are doing an amazing job, and if we keep doing the things we learn in the honeymoon period, success will be yours!
But the beauty is that my tool still works after 7 years.

Thanks Gina!
Low carb worked well for me as a preop, and it sure still makes a huge difference in my post op life. Love not feeling hungry all the time.
Love your victory, stairs are one of those things, I hate, but love to do! You feel like right away!

Love my birthdays now, feel way better in my fifties than I did in my forties!
