Been a while

Wow, it has almost been a year since I have written. Life has been such a rollercoaster the last year. From struggling with my weight loss, to learning how my band actually works, to medical issues unrelated to weight, and learning more and more about myself, it has been an incredible year. I have lost a little bit of weight, but for the most part, I have just stayed the same. That is huge for me because at this point, I would have gained most of what I had lost back. I have also become more active. I am able to play with my grandson, running, climbing rocks at the beach, playing baseball, all of the fun things. Waterskiing was awesome this last year, as was snow skiing.I have also had my share of rough times. Coming back from Florida was extremely hard for me. Went into deep depression again. Was able to get out faster though, which was great. Summer was awful. Rain, rain and more rain. We tried to make the best of it though. End of the summer I had a gentamiacin shot in my ear to try and stop the vertigo. Well it did just that, but left me with no balance. I did not drive for 6 weeks, and had a really hard time. I am still feeling the effects, having a hard time driving at night and still have moments of unbalance. I also had a Synvisc shot in my knee which for some reason left me without the ability to put any weight on my knee for a long period of time. I am also struggling with food issues again. And I cannot seem to lose weight any more. I am not were I want to be by any means. I am getting frustrated.
But now, my depression is under control. I feel good about myself for the most part. I am trying to work on getting my eating under control again. That, I believe, is going to be a lifetime struggle for me.
