What happened in the past stays in the past. You can't change it so let It go and forgive yourself. No one is perfect.start again tomorrow and try again. The wagon is waiting for you.

It's been a long time since I've been on here so hete I go...
This has been the most amazing journey over the last year. I have started to live again and love again.
I was a food addict. I still am but im in recovery... I ALWAYS will be.when I was 353lbs I would wake up and think about food. I would eat and eat and eat. I reached the point that I could barely tie my own shoes bc i could barely bend over. I had to roll off of my couch to get up.. I could barely wipe my own ass. I was always uncomfortable.
Miserable.. I was completely miserable.
When I would pull thru the drive thru I would act like I was ordering for 2 bc i was ordering so much food. When I was cashing out at the convenient store I was act like I was buying all that chips and candy for my kids.. not me.
Embarrassed. .. that's what I was.
I would constantly compare myself to everyone... I would look at other women and actually be mad at her bc she looked better than me.. she had a better body than me.. my man probably wanted her bc i was so fat and ugly.
Ashamed is what I had become.
Finally I decided after years of dieting enough was enough.... I had the gastric sleeve 02/26/2013.BEST DECISION I MADE.
It's now been a year and here are my stats. 32 years old and 5-7'.I was 353 and now I'm 183lbs. Went from a bmi of 55.5 to 28.7. I wore a size 26 pants and now I'm in 10/12.
Over the last year I have stayed active. For the first 6 months I was VERY strict.on what I ate. Now I'm more lenient. I eat every 3 hours making Protein #1. That isn't hard for me bc I'm a hard

Hello everyone! My surgery was April 8th. I came home on the tenth. My surgeon was fantastic. I had a hiatial hernia repair done also and a drain left in until yesterday. The PA came into my room and removed it there and said I was well enough to go home. I have to say the whole experience was better then my expectation. I went for a long walk today==three actually==and feel great. Have some stinging in my gut when I bend over low but it's no big deal. The more I walk the greater I feel. If I could give anyone my most important advice, its to keep to your preop diet --NAIL IT--and your recovery will be a good one. Preop weight 285, CW 272,GW 145.
