3 year anniversary

Apr 29, 2011

I just thought i'd post a few thoughts of what it's been like. I was doing very well for a while. I got down to 145lbs and was maintaining. I wanted to lose maybe 10 more pounds but was happy where i was. Unfortunately, in Feb 2010 I had a seizure (not related to wls) fell and broke my jaw. More like shattered it. I was wired shut for a month and had to go back on liquid diet, at least i was used to it lol. But because of that my stomach shrank even more. After that i had an external fixator on for 3 months, developed severe inffection and was hospitalized for 6 days and on iv antibiotics for 6 weeks. I was still unable to eat. Everything I tried to eat came up. I went all the way down to 100lbs, had it not been for the excess skin I'm sure it would have been well under 100. I've had a total of 5 surgeries on my jaw but I am able to eat better now. I'm back up to 115lbs. I know i need to gain about another 10 but my mind is still confused. When I see that scale going up I freak out. It is weird being in a size 2. I found it is just as hard to shop for a tiny body as it is a large body people just don't look at you funny. I do enjoy the shocked looked on peoples faces when I say I used to be 300lbs. Sorry I don't have an updated pic but I'm on laptop and don't have any loaded on here.
