It's been 4 years since the surgery. I am not at goal but I haven't gained weight back yet. My heaviest was 360..and now don't weigh myself..last time I weighed myself and saw the number I was at 181. I think I lost weight since then..so says my husband. I can eat just about anything I want..unfortunately sometimes I do. I still get full if I eat about a cup worth of food..sometimes I try to cram more food in and I feel sick. I do not actually get sick that often..not anymore. So it still works for the most part. I slacked on the exercise when I moved but I am back and working out at least 4 times a week. I am eating better again. I can eat chips.. which is a big nono..but I can eat a lot of them if I want to. I don't know why..but I can. As I was saying I starting working out again and started following the rules so I know I will start losing again. I have lots of skin on my tummy, legs, and arms. The doctors told me that it would be hard to get rid of all of it naturally. I break out in rashes around those areas so maybe someday I can get some of it removed..surgically. I am glad I had the surgery. I met my husband a few months after I had it. We've been married over a year now. We want to have kids. I still think I am too fat to conceive but I don't know if I will ever get rid of that feeling. I still feel huge then it leads to snacking but now I know to stop and think and ask myself..do i really want this. If I do...then I know what may happen if I don't work out or stop eating bad.
If anyone reads this who hasn't had the surgery...make sure you follow the doctor's instructions. Learn how to eat right. Learn how to manage your emotions differently ..not by eating ( I am still learning that one). Stick with it. don't give up. I will not allow myself to be the way I use to be. Although I am far out of the surgery I feel the affects still so I will never forget what it's done for my life. I would do it again..but I pray I won't have to.
My picture is old. It's been awhile since I've been on here.
