7 1/2 years out and struggling

Jul 08, 2014

I had 3 different jaw surgeries in one year which resulted in having my jaw wired shut, so was on blended food and NO exercise allowed for over a year (who knew even walking was hard on your jaw? I didn't) well the first surgery I livedon mashed potatoes and sugar freeice cream not good I know. But I was scared and frustrated. Long story short I put on ALOT of  weight. I got up to 198 lbs. I decided then and there to take back my life and use my tool the best I could given my circumstances. And started using protein drinks etc. To day I'm down to 180 lbs I still have a way to go. I know I can do it. I'm able to go back to the gym now. I'm in size 12 - 14. People still say ilook great, which is nice but I don't feel great so I need to do it for me noone else. I'm still s success by kaisers records. Dr dutta told me 190 was my goal weight. But I'm no longer weight watchers lifetime that upsets me.my goal is to be lifetime again. Sound crazy? Maybe but its my goal. I can say I still don't eat pasta,rice,chew gum,drink soda use straw etc. If I can gain weight without these things I don't want to even try them. I did find out that I love spaghetti squash and so I can have "spaghetti" I also have lasagna using zucchini as noodles. Super yummy. Don't give up you can do it
