So, I have joined onederland. Pre-op I was 217 lbs. I will be 3 weeks post-op on Friday and I weighed in at 198.1 lbs today! I'm happy to be back in onederland, but I feel so apprehensive! My weight has yo-yo'ed soooo bad the last ten years! When I was 19 (I'm 28 now), I was up to 237 lbs, by the time I was 20 I had gotten down to 155lbs (due to stress I couldn't eat, so I lost weight inadvertently). A few years later and I had worked my way back up to 221lbs, which is when I got my lap-band. After my lap-band I got back down to 179 lbs & then I got pregnant 4 months after and ended up at 235lbs at the end of my pregnancy. After having my first baby I started to get back down in weight. I got down to 195 lbs and then I decided to have another baby, which led me to the 217 lbs I was at on my surgery day! I just want to maintain a healthy weight and I don't know what I'm going to do if my sleeve fails. I almost feel like I'm just destined to be fat! I have been doing wonderful on my post-op diet, but I still can't wait to eat normal food! I'm just praying this restriction will be what helps me maintain a healthier lifestyle! I NEVER want to be over 200 lbs again!

Congratulations!!!! You are doing great!!!
