WOW... 5 years?

Jun 04, 2011

It has been almost 5 and a half years sense my surgery. Life has flown by! 
Last year, I found my self gaining weight... eating more and having to buy bigger sized clothes. I decided that I was not going to spend more money on clothes... ( I am very thrifty) so I made my mind up to stop! 
I was eating anything that I wanted... potatoe chips, candy, hamburgers, french fries.... and the list goes on! I weigh myself every day.. so I could see the pounds adding up. I had gained a whopping 25 pounds up to 170 from my lowest post surgery weight of 145 pounds. I am now down 18 pounds and have 7 more to go until I am 145 pounds again! 
I feel better about my self and am now trying to watch what I eat and back to eating my protein again.
This surgery is not an easy fix... it does not keep the weight off.... and you can gain the weight back!!!!!!
I just have to think about how I felt pre surgery at 245 pounds and know that I worked too hard to gain it back!
