Made it through 10 years post op. Doing well. Quit smoking need to lose 12 lbs lol. Wanted yto add photo but could not figure out how!

My 7th aniversary is approaching on the 28th Jan 2012 and yes I have gained some weight as well.  I managed to maintain my 150 lbs lost until late 2009 and then I gained 10 lbs from Oct 2009 to Dec 2009 as i developed scatica and could not walk and thus the lack of exercise surely did me in.  I never got the 10 lbs off, and then around Oct 2010 I slowly began to creep up and by May 2011 I put on 40 lbs.  I had a horrible year with a job I hated and lack of sleep, animeia and just purely not folowing my plan caused me to fall off the wagon.  but on 9/26/2011 I joined MyFitnessPal.com and I have been using this tool now to log my food and exercise and to date I have lost 33 lbs with 17 to go to get back to what I was.  Once there I will make a new goal and attempt to lose the remaining weight to normal BMI, as initally I was 75% of the weight but still needed to lose another 40 -50 to be around 175-180 and a normal BMI.  So I am off to a good start and hope I can lose 40-50 lbs by May as I am going to Hawaii.  Time will tell.    You have my best wishes on your journey to bet back ON THE WAGGON,,,  Best of Luck,  Just know you are not alone,, it;s a daily struggle.
