I have struggled with being overweight for a long time...I've done all the diets, succeeded, and failed. I lost a large amount of weight (123 pounds) within 14 months once, but that was at a time in my life that I was dumb...I did it the wrong way. Eating nothing but salads, granola bars and pretzels, and popping herbal weight loss pills really got the weight off fast. But doing that has really done damage to my metabolism. I didn't have much of it left.
I had my surgery on 11/10/08 and I've gotten down to my goal and below. Its been a wild ride, and I'm thankful for the gift of this surgery and what its done for me. But, I have suffered a backslide. In the past 3 years I've slowly watched about 40 pounds creep slowly back up on me. I am not using my tool to the total capability and I have to start from the basics again!
I'm suffering from extreme fatigue, from not taking my vitamins and getting enough protein. I have to change it NOW. We're only given one life, and its time I start making the most of it! Anyone with any words of wisdom, ideas or help PLEASE friend me, message me, etc. Would love to make new friends that are in similar situations. Thanks for reading!
