4 years out!!!

Aug 04, 2014

Yesterday was my 4 year anniversary! Felling great. Still glad I had WLS. Have never looked back and regretted one minute.

Now for the challenges. With 4 years under my belt, I have hit challenges and have learned so many things. One important thing I have learned about this journey is WLS is only a tool. If you work it I believe you can and will keep the weight off. It's still an everyday battle. I can still eat junk and some days I do.

About 2 years out I was loosing control. I went to see a friend who had RNY and had gained back 50 lbs. she had just started making and drinking smoothies. She made me the BEST tasting green smoothie! After that I was hooked. I bought me a vitamix and began my health journey. Now it's all about what I'm putting in my body. I read more labels, I've researched and researched. It's not about diet for me now, it's about eating healthy and clean. By eating cleaning can fill up on fruits and vegetable and not worry about a thing.

In 4 years I've lost 85 lbs and I've gained 10 of it back. I'm still a work in progress. I think I will be forever. I believe I would have gained all my weight back if I didn't change my mind setting and my pallet. My sleeve still works if I listen to it.

Oh, and my friend....She has lost her 50 lbs and weighs less than her lowest after surgery. I thank her for introducing me to a healthy life style. I live in Louisiana and she lives in MO. I'm headed up there now. When I get there she is giving e a scoby and I'm giving her some kefir cultures. Don't know what that is look it up. Research eat health your worth it!!!

love Tina
