Ok, I hate the word "journey" so much, but I guess it is the best way to phrase this little game... Pick three words to describe your weight loss surgery journey so far!

I'll start:

Learn, struggle, adapt.

  • High Weight before LapBand: 200 (2008)
  • High Weight before RNY: 160 (2015)
  • Lowest post-op weight: 110 (2016)
  • Maintenance Weight: 120 (2017-2019)
  • Battling Regain Weight: 135 (current)

Just wanted to say your username cracks me up. I am also from MA and all of my Lisa friends are "Lisers", too. Haha.

Work in progress.

I will always consider myself a work in progress. I will feel that way until the last moment my mind can fire off a thought. At that moment, and only that moment, will the work be done.

Does that make any sense?

edited because I forgot an effing comma, and that made me go all twitchy.

I woke up in between a memory and a dream...
