I can't believe how very quickly this year has passed by.    Geez....I am glad this week is almost over.   It started out really bad.   One of our fur babies came down sick last saturday afternoon and I was going to take her to the vet on monday AM.   I got up monday AM and she died in my arms.   I am still just totally heart sick over losing her.    I truly didn't think it was that serious or she would have gone to a emergency hospital over the weekend.    What made it even worse was we left on a trip monday AM.    We took her body to the vet for cremeation and then came back home got our suitcases and hit the road.    Needless to say....it was NOT a good trip at all.   Eating wise it was good for me and I came home with a loss ( lb. wise ) but all I could think about is my furbaby and the "what if's".    We came back a day early.   It's good to be back home but still it's strange not seeing her.    Our other furbabies seem to be OK.    If you have had WLS for sometime....I will tell you that you CAN still loose weight.    In 1 week I will be 8 yrs post op RNY and in the last week I have lost 7 lbs.   I know that isn't very much compared to the weight loss that you have in the beginning but trust me....I've worked harder to get his 7 lbs. off than I did 8 yrs ago to loose my weight.     Please if you are newly post op....don't use the term "forever" when you talk about your WL.....FOREVER is a very long time and you truly don't know what events will happen in your future that can make you gain some weight.    I never planned to gain back any...but I've had lots of extremely hard things to deal with in my life since my WLS.....and I did have a weight re-gain.   Thank GOD I got control of it before I gained all that much....but still I've been working on getting it off for years now and have lost and re-gained the same weight.   I am a work in progress and hopefully one day I will get back down to my "happy weight",    Hope this has encouraged someone and not discouraged you.   I am ALL ABOUT encouraging and giving out support to others in this WLS journey.    Have a blessed Day !!!!
