Hard to believe it has been 7 years!

Apr 21, 2014

I guess I didn't really keep up on this blog.  I never was one to journal or anything like that.  But it has been 7 years and I thought some might need to know what to expect with time.  When I started I had about 100 pounds to lose to be at a good weight, maybe not perfect, but all  would really want to lose.  Here was my yearly weight loss. 1-24.5lb, 2-6lb, 3-20.5, 4-13lb, 5-6lb, 6-7lb and year 7 I actually gained 6 pounds.  I stalled out at about 70 pounds in year 6 and decided to work at it more and did weight watchers.  This is a wonderful program and I lost about 10 pounds, but life got hectic and I quit going and quit working and basically put those pounds back on.  I feel I am at a weight I will likely stay at unless I eat more healthy all the time, exercise better, or perhaps get another fill.  I haven't had a fill since about year 2 because it is just so far to go.  I am not skinny by any means, but I am at a comfortable weight and I am very thankful this surgery has done so much for me.  Basically I still have restriction, but I don't seem to notice it too much anymore unless I try to eat a meal too fast, usually breakfast and then I will regret it.  Other than that, I don't notice so much because I just habitually don't reach for they fries or side items that I don't need.  I haven't had a french fry in 7 years hardly.  I certainly don't eat perfect and that is why the last 30 aren't coming off, but if I tried I could do it.  Life is just so busy with kids that I have a different focus right now it seems.  Anyway, this surgery was a blessing that has changed my life forever.  I dont'yoyo major ups and down in weight loss anymore.  I yoyo with about a 5 pound range.  I can totally live with that.
