So... I had my surgery over 2 years ago. I was at 225lbs when I had it and my lowest weight was 159. For a total of 66lbs. I really wanted to lose 80-100lbs but did not reach that goal, I was however happy breaking the 160 barrier which took me an additional 3 months to lose. Those were the hardest few lbs to lose I spent 2hrs at the gym 5 days a week and calorie counted. Needless to say it was tough and at times fun. I have 2 small children and their needs began surpressing mine, so out went the gym ...terrible I know. And then came the bad eating, we moved to a town where fat food is on every corner literaly! And I simply did not do to well. I have now gained 10lbs it keeps me up every night, that I let it come to this. I gained it over 6 months, saw myself going there but I justified by saying "I dont eat much anyway". I am now learning the hard way, not only is it how much you eat but what you eat. I'm trying to get back on the bandwagon and have eliminated red meat and trying to eliminated bread...baby steps. Hopefully I will force myself to find the time for "me" and get back in the gym. Has anyone had this experience? What have you done to help continue to lose weight. I was thinking of getting on Herbal Life but I havent looked to much into it yet, again baby steps. I actually came across this site while researching herbal life and sleeve patients. Any advice would help! Thanks for letting me vent, I actually fell better and I feel as if I finally have people I can talk to about this =)
