Just a quick pop by.
I am 4 weeks from being 2 years post surgery.
I've had a difficult couple of months food wise. My restriction is still there - large meals still defeat me. Still cannot drink fizzy and if I drink to quickly after food I am certainly acutely aware! So that's all good I guess.
However, I always said I was not cured - I was an obese lady in remission.
I've found I am snacking more as it's easier to do. I biscuit here. A few crisps here. A bit of this and a bit of that. Easily done and it never tests the restriction as the amounts are small quantity but poor nutrition and usually higher calories. So I've gained half a stone as a result.
Not the world end I know. But is fairly annoying that I've removed 80% of an otherwise healthy stomach to deal with my obesity and even after that I've found a way to wreck it a wee bit.
So I had a melt down last month and have tried to fix things again. Back to basics. Recording everything I eat and pushing myself to be more mindful about what i stuff into my gob!
I would like to shift the 5lbs over my lowest so I can hit my operation anniversary at my lowest. That would still leave me 15lbs from my goal but it's about setting goals which are not overwhelming and I feel I can reach that one.
I am back at Walsall Manor to see the psychologist in July - my appointment is on my 50th birthday. Weird way to celebrate !!
Good luck to everyone wherever you are on your journey.
