Today 16 months post op (long)

Good Saturday Afternoon!! Well today I am 16 months post op i have lost 150 pounds and gained 20 pounds and well maintaining and not losing that 20 pounds for some reason!! A month ago i added excerise in my every day routine and still havent seen any more weight loss!! NO i am not complaining however i want to say that i would do this over again in a heart beat!! There are struggles with any surgery or life changing event and i am not going to lie this has been one of the hardest struggles!! As you are told this is a tool and you have to use in right!! I made a mistake of testing my tool and now i struggle every day with those food demons that are calling my name!! I find when i am stressed or bored i eat foods and candy i am not suppose to and belive it or not before i had surgery i wasnt a candy eater so i dont know what is up with this!! I am doing better thought and i am trying to eat the right stuff!! I also noticed the last 3 days i have had a very bad pain in the area of my punch and i dont feel a knot but if i sneeze bend over or anything it hurts i am thinking if it was a pulled muscle it wouldnt hurt this bad so i am going to contact my surgeon on monday On a lighter note i am happy and living life to the fullest!! Been trying to have a family with no such luck everyone telling me be patient its hard to do this when i have been trying for 4 months and no luck i had this problem before surgery as well so it looks like i will try for about 3 more months then go another route!! Thanks everyone for all the love and support!! If your waiting for approval, fighting insurance DO NOT GIVE UP!! Its all worth it

Congrats on 16 months!! I can't wait until I am that far out. I keep reminding myself that I did not get here overnight so the solution is not going to be that fast. Keep yuur chin up and don't let it get you down. I think you look AWESOME!!
