Having a revision
Sep 06, 2011
Ok so I finally had enough of all the weight gain and yo-yo "dieting" once again. I went and saw Dr. J Steven Scott and will be having a revision on October 18. I'm a little aggravated I have to wait so long but just keep praying the time goes by fast.

Weight gain

It's been over 5 years since I have had my surgery. I did well for the first 3 years. After that, I went back to the little comforts in life and started drinking soda again. Then from there was the sweet stuff. I turned to comfort foods and now am back to almost where I was when I started. I am tired of feeling bloated and no energy. I am now turning to OH once again for the help and support I need to get this weight off again. My chest hurts all the time, my back and feet are forever hurting. I am so tired of feeling horrible and no self confidence. I am setting a small goal of 20 pounds by Thanksgiving. I hope I can do it!

So many changes
Apr 08, 2008
There have been so many changes in my life since my surgery. Mostly for the best. I finally left the abusive relationship I was in after 7 years. I felt great enough about myself to stand up and stop taking it. I have moved into a new home, met a wonderful man and have gotten married. It's amazing to look back at the last 3 years of my life and see how much things can change in such a small amount of time.
I have gained approximately 40 pounds in the last year and have finally had enough. I didn't have this life saving surgery to become a failure. I have joined back at the gym and hired a trainer. I also joined a soccer team and have committed to eating right. I hope that in the near future I can get this 40 pounds off and more. I never did meet my expected goal weight and now with my life stable once again, I am hoping to do just that.

Lost all my old posts
Dec 12, 2006
When I transferred over all my information to my new profile, I lost it. Not sure what happened but it's all gone. So I have to start all over.
I started my journey in June 2004. I had finally had enough of being obese and not being able to breathe. I had very severe asthma. I was 313 lbs at 5'2". I was misrable. No matter what I did to loose weight, it didn't work.
In December of '04, I was in the hospital for almost 2 weeks with gallbladder problems. The doctors let me go home for Christmas and then right back in to have it taken out. That was when I got really serious about GBS. I started looking into it and found a surgeon that would take my insuracne. I knew I was killing myself and if I didn't have this surgery, I wasn't going to live a long and healthy life.
I had my surgery June 17, 2005. It was the best thing I have ever done for myself. I am now 173 lbs and feeling pretty good.
I am struggling with emotional eating again and know that I have got to gain control once again to get to my goal weight. Carbs have been the "devil" for the past couple months. As of today, I have started making myself accountable for me. I have to rid my body of the carbs and get back on track with high protein and lots of exercise.
