Did weight loss surgery stop the Merry go round of losing, gaining, and I give up?

Sadly, 5 years out, and the merry-go-round shows no signs of stopping.

I'm only 2 months post RNY and I have fallen off that Merry Go Round and I hope I stay off of it!! This will be the first time in my life that I "fell off a horse" and I'm not going to "get right back into the saddle again"!!

Despite the rough 2 months I have had since surgery, I have solidly planted my feet in Onederland -- a place that I haven't inhabited for over 25 years!

I am more than happy to trade compliance with my new eating habits with being stuck on that darn horse on that nightmarish Merry Go Round!!

Congratulations on your weight loss surgery and the beginning of your journey.

I will never forget the first New Years Day that I wasn't getting all my charts and books and gameplay together for the New Years "this is the year I lose" lie.

The freedom was amazing!

I'm 13 years out, and I can confidently say yes.

I regained 20 lbs in years 3 and 4 post op, but have effortlessly stayed at that place ever since (not interested in fighting the scales anymore).
