5 years out ...10/28/09-14 I'm more scared now than before
Oct 27, 2014
Well its 5 years since my WLS....I'm more scared now than I was then. I have gained weight now upto 190 ..yes I put it out there for the world to see.
Now I know Ive said it before and ill say it again, its time to to get refocued, eating more protien, stop making excuses to work out.
I have been given a Gift by God and I don't want to seem unthankful for that gift. I need to put me first when it comes to my Weight loss since I'm the one that went under the knife. I saw my WLS Coordinator (she's not doing it anymore) who is a registered nurse and was the lead for the WLS Program. She has gained back all her weight..and it scared me because she headed the program and it happened to her ... my coworker also had it the same week I had mine and she too has gained back all of her weight and then some. I don't want to head that route. I know I'll never be 147 again but to be a healthly 165 can work. I just hope next year on my 6 anniversary I'm not 200 pounds

I feel like the prodigal son returning to this site...hoping some one will embrace me !!! It has been almost 1 year since I've been up here !!! and Going out of control !!! Since my last post I have gained 14 pounds...I don't know what to do ... let me take some
responsibility/accountability
1- I eat too much
2 I eat too late
3 not exercising enough
4 I snack too much
5 not eating enough protein
True my life has changed I cook more and eat with my husband who has a late schedule, I care for my mom and so I'm back to eating on the run..(no fast food because I still don't eat beef, pork or chicken or turkey) But still will eat a bag of chips in stead of a healthy meal.
My fear is I'll be 262 pounds again .. I need help !!! please keep me encouraged and I'll be on this site now more often so I can keep my self motivated too. I'm going back to read those first few weeks to.....so I can see what I went thru to gain new appreciation for it and work hard to get back there !!!! I want to get back to 160,,, I know I can do it with your help !!

A lot of wonderful things have happened I got married on 07/21/2012 I can't say its because of the RNY but the new confidence I have has helped me to start a new life. I've managed to stay just 4 pounds off my original goal of 4 pounds as well (164) 160 is my scary weight. I will post more pictures.
Need to ReFocus Need Encouragement

Ok its been 1 year since my surgery...I notice that now I can tolerte more foods and more amounts however I still try to eat those post op portions. But I need to refocus...I was scared in the beginning to loose alot of weight @ one time for several reasons:
I was worried abou absorbson issues and vitamin intake
I was worried about excess skin
I was woried about loosing my shape because although I was big I had a nice figure
Last but not least. I didn't tell many people I was having RNY so if I failed people would think I just went on a crash diet that didn't work
But finally reached the goal of loosing 100 pounds. I still want to loose 17 more and according to my sugeron I can still loose but now it is more of an effort; not only to take it off but keep it off. That is my ultimate goal. So I need all the encouragement I can get.
Im back on my post op diet & protein intake
Back to working out every day.
Goal: WANT THESE 17 POUNDS to Go Away
Today is my 1 YR Surgiversary !!!!! 10-28-10

Almost 1 yr Out...still have not lost 100 Pounds
Oct 17, 2010
On the upside my skin has done remarkable well post surgery which was one of my worries initially. I still have some of my boobs in a sense. I've gone from a 44DDD to 36DD my waist is smaller than my boobs and hips so now my weight is proportion to my body. I still have a full face but although I made a video for a work project and when I watched it I did not recognize myself because my face changed so much. I don't want this surgery, this tool, this gift to be all for nough...I want to make it my goal to reach my goal and to not gain or be than 155 pounds. This will show that I appreciate the gift I have been given. It is also important to visit this sight @ least 2x a week. Initially this was my lifeline my OH community and I have not been as active on it as I Should so I need to start not only receive more encouragement but also Give more encouragement as well. This will also keep me focused.
