Bypassjourney

2 1/2 years post surgery I am down 75 lbs. I have not reached my goal weight but came within 13 lbs. of it. I maintained an 85 lbs. lost for over a year. Over the past six months I have allowed 10 lbs to creep back on. It is from mindless eating and snacking. The honeymoon phase of surgery is over and now I have to change my habits or suffer the consequences. I still believe the surgery is the best thing that ever happened to me and so thankful for it! Its just that now I have to work the plan and realize I will have to make a conscious effort to lose and maintain for the rest of my life. It isn't easy, but I know it is worth it!
