3 years post-op!

Feb 23, 2013

Whooooa!!! I can't believe as of yesterday I am 3 years out!!! What a crazy journey I have been on. I have managed to maintain my weight loss. I can't seem to get under 199lbs but I can't be mad because I started off at 435lbs! I have my everyday struggles still. If I had any advice it would be that if something is wrong and bothering you then seek help asap! I know its hard to talk to family and friends because they really don't understand what we went through and the last thing we want is for them to think we have failed because we are facing a problem such as emotional. The rapid weight loss plays a huge mind game with you. I have learned that just because you loose weight it doesn't fix your problems you had pre-op and sometimes creates more problems post-op/ Those problems are always going to be there unless you seek help and address them. It only makes things worse to keep them to yourself and to go on as if nothing is wrong. I am very thankful that I was able to have the gastic bypass and would do it all over again if I had to. I am truly blessed and thankful God was with me to see me through! Good luck to everyone who is up and coming with your surgery and to those who are post-op keep up the good work!!! Oh yeah the scale isn't your friend at all! It plays a huge mind game on you because even though the numbers may not move at times doesn't mean you are not loosing. Keep track of your inches!
