Happy belated Birthday! I know what you mean about dumping even though I dont' dump but I do get the foamies. Good luck to you! My birthday next week and I don't plan on eating any cake but I am thinking about a glass of wine, which I know is wrong but oh well.

Hi all, it's been years since I've been here. I first started coming to Baf in 2004 and I had RnY in May 2005. Now 7 1/2 years out, I don't regret it at all. I started at my highest weight of 348lbs and at surgery was 325lbs. In the next year dropped 105lbs and then the yo-yo began. Over the next 2 year I gained 40lbs, stabilized for 2 years, loss a little but finally over the next 2 years gained a little over half my weight back. It has been a crazy journey with alot of my weight gain coming from not using my tool properly and just giving up. The good news is that this spring I went back to the basics. Protien first, increased my water, excercise ect... and i am now 10lbs from my lowest weight since having the surgery. I hope I can encourage everyone but especially the post-ops that may have given up, that it is never too late to work your tool. Im taking it one day at a time and hope to finally qualify for my panniculectomy next year. P.s. I know alot of the older post ops r on fb. Can someone invite me, I would love to reconnect.

 I guess in my honeymoon stage but I can see how easy it would be to fall short. I have to admit. I have to find a schdule for myself school started, I'm working overtime and homeschooling my oldest daughter. I have not been exercising like I need to be.

I miss getting up early in the morning and working out and having my meditation period. I will vow to myself that I will atleast try to fit 2 or 3 days in this week.

Hey Lov(in my english accent)

How are you? Good to hear from you. Girl I cant believe it has been so long that EVERYBODY is in school...wow! What is we gon do with ourself...lol.

Keep in touch

There is no excuse for not living up to your wl commintlent ot self.  That being said, I've made a clusterfkcu of it lately.  Having been ill; running between drs, treatments, tests; still feeling like ****  Not a reason for poor eating.  If anything, t is a reason to do better,  Eating better leads to betterr health overall. 

No mercy and no excuses.  I've been a careless screw up.  This will not help me loose the excess fat I've got to drop.  Time to pull myself together.  I'm battling weight gain outside of my control.  Doing my best to loose it is within my control even if it does not come off as one would expect it should.  There is never a reason not to keep at it. 

This week I will do the right thing to create the best opportunity for success.  Focus is on my desired outcome.  The only way to bring this to fruition is by living it.
