2 Years Post Op

[acm21_ 20]

Hell Everyone,

I had my surgery in October 2016. I have lost over 100 pounds. My starting weight was 349 pounds. I currently weight around 246 pounds, so I still have a lot to go. These last two years have been tough. I got through college during my surgery. Everything was going great. As college got challenging I started to eat like before my surgery. I ate fried foods, dessert and drank soda. All the habits that they told us to kick, I started them again. I’ve been eating normally again, and bigger portions, but I’ve managed to stay active and keep my weight down. I graduated college and transferred to another school with an all you can eat buffet style dining. I ate weirdly. Some days I’ll have salad and Water, other days I’ll have chicken wings and cake. I just picked and choose, but always felt bad about my eating. But still would remain active. The semester has come to an end and I’m back at home.
I have officially promised myself that I would give up all those foods and bad habits. I will be starting to go to the gym on a schedule, and I have made an appointment to see my surgeon, and will be starting my Vitamins again.
This has been a last tough few years and caused me to lose track. Now I’m ready to get my journey back on track! I am starting LPN school next month and I’m super excited. So I want to get my life in order AGAIN.
FYI- I’m 24 Now.

What are your favorite healthy Snacks? drinks?
What exercise do you do? My target areas are my stomach, thighs, back and arms.

I like rice paper Snacks, yogurt w/granola, tea.

CONGRATS on getting back on track before you have any issues that cannot be corrected easily.

Also group accountability efforts help, considered staying active in a support group either in person or online.

Also you can make it fun...

Safe Journey 🎈

Thank you. I completely agree. I had this app when I get my surgery and then I erased it once I lost the weight. But I realize I need it now more then ever.
