An eventful 3 years
Jan 08, 2014
It has been over 3 years since I last posted. I lost down to 210 pounds and could not lose any more. Two years ago I found out that I had stage 3B breast cancer. My surgeon said that had I not had WLS I would not have found the tumor in time. So WLS saved my life twice. I had a double mastectomy, chemo and radiation and praise the Lord, at this point I am cancer free. While having chemo my doctor told me not to "diet" but to eat what ever I wanted as I needed the nutrition. I did what he said!! Add that to the steroids I was taking and I gained 20 pounds. I developed bad eating habits during this time and cannot seem to get this extra weight off. My diabetes and sleep apnea have come back. I am so THANKFUL TO BE ALIVE but am disappointed with the weight gain. I am determined to get back on track in 2014. Pray that I will succeed.
