Weight 205

So got a call today from my dr's office saying btw we have had a cancellation and wanted to know if you would like to move your surgery up a week. So I'm having surgery on 11/17 next Tuesday instead of of 11/24. My mood is going between ???????????????????? and ????????

I didn't see my name on the spread sheet.
Starting weight 205.2 goal 189.2

I'm in,
My current weight is 204.8 my goal is 189.8!

Surgery date 9/29. Staying off the scale until December 1, but started shopping in my closet for smaller clothes.

Not sure the OP will find this helpful, but here goes anyway ....
I've seen many posts on online WLS forums from people who have gained considerable amounts of weight (40-50 or more pounds).
In many instances they've suffered pretty bad life blows -- became widowed, became seriously ill, had family members become very ill, had grandchildren move in with them to be raised, had to move in with other family members due to financial problems, etc. In these instances they report they've just been overwhelmed by life, not had the energy to support their own health, gone back to "bad habits," etc. These are people whose new circumstances have just consumed the resources they might otherwise have used to build and sustain a healthier lifestyle.
Some who've gained also report that they're now drinking a lot of their calories. In one instance I recall, a woman had become "addicted" (it seems there's really no other word for it) high-calorie coffee drinks from McDonalds and over months of posting about this problem could not seem to kick it. (She was also someone who had suffered the loss of a beloved spouse from cancer after losing her weight.) Needless to say, she also wasn't getting much Protein or other nutritional food that WLS patients need to be successful long-term.
I've seen people cite drinking lots of sweet tea (there are several of those in my WLS support group), Mountain Dew, wheat thins (yes, wheat thins) as the villains in their WLS tragedies. Grazing and all-day munching is also implicated in these regain situations.
Yes, the physics of weight regain (too many calories eaten, wrong foods eaten / drunk, too little exercise) are obvious. But the real question is ... what's behind the inability to create a new lifestyle that would sustain long-term weight stability and better health?

I made this to remember how far I've come on this journey. It's been fun crossing out the pounds!

Great job, such a huge accomplishment!
