Welcome to the site Sass!! Glad to have you here well, and it's great to hear that you had such good success with your gastric RNY! I am curious, what did you differently to help you relose the 70lbs that you put back on after the surgery? I wish you continued success towards your final weight loss goals!

hello sass and let me roll out the welcome mat, we are happy you joined us! please do fill us in on how your surgery results were, positive and negative

[sass63]

Thanks for the welcome! There was a lot of deaths in my family about a year after my surgery and I went back to all my old eating habits. I couldnt eat near as much but I was always putting something in my mouth. Not a good thing. When I got back over 300 again I paniced and then I just tryed to gain control again.
Its taken a lot of work but I finally figured out how I have to eat to lose the weight. I cant eat the 5 small meals I eat very very little and only eat whole grain carbs except what is in the fruits and veges but I am very careful with those also. I believe the key is to find out what works for your own body and not what they tell you. At least for me thats been the case.

Sorry to hear about your family. It is fantastic that you have gotten back on track and figured out how to proceed towards your goals. If you want fruits and veges we have hundres of good tasty recipes for those!

Way to go getting back on track with all the adversity. I admire your courage through all of this. It is so tough to rebound for tragic life events.

Hello!!! I am doing great thanks! I just dropped 1.5 lbs since I weighed in a few weeks ago and that put a mile on my face!

Good for you in hitting your 250 goal! Setting these small goals works for you so I would keep doing it.

[sass63]

Thanks and congrats to you as well.
The small goals help me not get so discouraged. When I make them to big I get myself in trouble.

That is a phenomenal plan, having a big goal but setting smaller benchmarks/goals along the way! I have not quite done that but maybe it is something I will do from now on.


Maybe every 25lbs I get to go buy a pair of shoes!

[sass63]

Thats the way to get the job done as far as I am concerned anyway.
If I get discouraged I tend to go back to old bad habits.
