Your participation is required for this to work!

Not so much a question as a statement of fact. I am posting anonymously because I do not want the jealous pre-ops or post ops to flame me in to cinders. The point of this post is to let people know, THIS CAN HAPPEN TO YOU! I am almost 2 years post op and have fallen right back into my pre op eating patterns. Last night I ate 1/2 a medium Pizza Hut pizza with three toppings. I do not exercise, dont have the dumping syndrome and can eat anything I want and do. When you are told this surgery is just a tool, believe it. I guess I am lazy, call me what you want, it cant rival what I have called myself. The weight is creeping back on ( I am up 8 pounds) and I only lost 60% of my excess weight to begin with so at 60lbs lost out of a possible 100, I find myself again heading up the scales. To add insult to injury this is my second weight loss surgery (a failed VBG being the first) For the record I had an open rny with transected stomach. I get in the protein and water requirements but cant seem to make myself like exercise or take the time to do it. The natural response to this post would be to contact my doctor but let me tell you this, I already know what he is going to say and he is a man who doesnt like to see failures. I just dont want to hear it. What's the point of this message? I guess it's a warning to all those out there like me who dont want DO anything to make this surgery a success. I wanted to have the surgery and then sit back and wait for the pounds to fall off. I did not to participate, I wanted it to do the doing for me. Call me what you want I dont care, but there are others out there just like me and they need to hear this. Your participation is required! You need to work this program. If not, you could find yourself in the same mess as me.
