Up 20# from my lowest weight of 146# and three years post-op.
Jun 10, 2011
Well, here I am 3 years post op and up 16# from my goal weight of 150#. I've started a new medication to better control my depression. The medication is called Risperdal. One of the side effects is weight gain. I had put on about 10# before I started the medication and now I've put on another 10# since I've started it a month ago. I've got to get back to basics, watch my diet, increase my exercise and stay focused on the long term of staying both physically and mentally healthy. It's a life long journey, I realize I won't lost my 16# overnight, but I am going to work hard to get back to my goal weight and maintain it.

Doc says I am at my goal weight.

They originally set my goal weight at 140#. At my 18 month visit they took one look at me and said you are thin enough and don't lose anymore. I weigh 150# now. I'm just glad to be healthy and alive.

OMG...I fit in a size 8 jeans!!!

I have not fit in a size 8 jeans ever. I have lost 105 lbs. and have 35 lbs. to go to my goal. I can't imagine what I would like like at my goal weight of 140 lbs., I'm thinking I will look too thin and skeletal. My weight loss has slowed but my body is still shrinking, I must be replacing lost pounds with gained muscle.
