3 years!!

May 12, 2010

Wow, I can't believe it's been 3 years since I had my VSG. It's amazing how the day went without me even thinking about it till this morning. I guess I am really living my life. I still love my VSG! It is possible to gain with it. I know for me, my metabolism is all kinds of jacked up. If I were to eat what a normal person eats to maintain, I would gain big time. I still don't eat all that much. I weigh every day, and when I notice some lbs sneaking on, I will diet again. My tastes changed after surgery, and they are still pretty much the same as they were right after surgery. Things i loved before surgery, that I no longer liked after surgery, I still don't care for now. That was a great thing, because I really don't like things like hamburgers anymore. I don't really like much at fast food places at all. I seem to lose weight on vacations because we hit the fast food places more, and I only eat a few bites and I'm done. I actually love working out now. I never thought I would be one that likes it, and I just recently got to this point. I do a step and pump aerobics class and I look forward to those classes every week.
My dream weight was to get to 130 lbs. I got down to 117 and was constantly told how bad I looked (people will still tell me "you really looked bad then". I worked really hard (it took almost a year) to get up to 125 to 130. This morning I was 132. I fluctuate between 130 to 135. If I get to 135 I panic and go into diet mode. I think I am at the perfect weight for me now, and I'm so much more confident that I have ever been. People tell me I smile more, and just seem happier, and friendlier. I guess I didn't look as friendly back then. Probably because I was so miserable.
Anyway, I just wanted to pop over and say hello to everyone. I haven't posted in a long time. Every so often I will read the forums, but I just don't get over here much.

My biggest obstacle is my husband. I love him dearly, but he seems to think that he has to buy me chocolates on any holiday or celebration. He got me 2 lbs of mixed chocolates on my birthday (May 5th). I told him, I would physically hurt him if he did that for mothers day. I bet it crossed his mind. I told him he just wants me to be fat. I know he doesn't but he just seems to think about foods being a celebration. He isn't obese, but he has gained some weight now that he's getting older. He loves going out to eat. He says I'm "no fun" because I don't want to go to buffet type of places because I know I wont eat my money's worth, and I just usually feel miserable because I want to try a little of everything. So, he's my biggest obstacle, but I'm still working on him. lol
