Well, 8 years, 1 month and 1 day after surgery...  I started my journey at 352lbs... got down to 188 by 1/1/07.. but that Dec, on 12/17/06, we lost our son to a  motorcycle accident... after that, I started gaining. I got all the way up to 272 (with the normal ups and downs in between)  At the moment, I'm 265.8 and trying to get down again.  I am very disappointed in myself for having allowed my weight to get this high again.. that's 78 lbs above my lowest weight!   86 lbs from my highest weight.. which means I've gained back less than 50% (considered a success) but I don't feel like a success.   Yes, I can do soooo much more that I could at 352, and yes, I wear a smaller size, can fly without a seatbelt extension, can walk for miles, etc... but...  I'm still morbidly obese..    sooo

I'm looking for support, accountability and someone to PUSH me to do what I need to do.  I have realized (via logging my food at fitbit.com) that I eat WAY MORE than I should be able to!!!  I have made an appt with a surgeon to discuss my options, maybe be referred to a good nutritionist, possibly get kicked in the butt.. and as a last resort, think about a revision... the revision idea is due to the fact that I can eat too much, so... I mean, like an entire strip steak... and then an hour later, I can eat again.
