Its been over 2 yrs since I have posted on here. I had my 5 year anniversary Nov 2011. I can't believe it!  I am going to Columbus today to see the fabulous Dr Tom. He has moved around since leaving Florence and I just haven't had time to go. I decided that it is time. I think I am doing o.k. I've gained 20 pounds over 2 years. I'm back to 134-135 pounds. I HATE it!  Nothing fits. I HATE to shop... Again. I can't completely figure out what has happened. Here is what has changed that may have caused weight gain:  I had uterine ablation 2 years ago. I was put on Lexipro (I took myself off -not worth weight gain). I drink more wine than I did in the beginning. I also started drinking more Coke Zero. After my band, I could NOT drink pop but can now. I thought that because it was zero calories, it was ok. I'm thinking it could be a factor. I have horrible reflux and find myself eating things with higher calories because it sooths my stomach--- yes, I'm talking about ice cream or smoothies. Bottom line, the band DOES work. I have gained 20 pounds. It's not because my band is failing. So much of what made me a success at weight loss are the things I have stopped doing. Obviously, I'm still on top of this. It will be this way forever!!  I'm hoping the good doctor will adjust my band and help my tool to work better again. I think I need to get back to journaling. I need to go back to the basics. 20 pounds?  Size 6?  You may think "GIVE ME A BREAK!". It's a big deal to me!!  I didn't have much to lose to begin with. Think of my gain this way... If you gained 1/4 of your weight back, would it be a big deal??  Of course!!  I know what to do. I know how to do it. Know to just get it done!!
