Working On Freedom

by Amber
(Ohio)

before and current

before and current

Lap RNY, April 16, 2007.
Starting wt./BMI: 277lbs/50 Current wt./BMI: 150lbs/27.

I still struggle w/ head hunger and wanting to binge, but my small pouch does restrict me thus far. It is a daily struggle, but I am much healthier and happier at the weight I am now. I struggled at 277 and was fat and miserable. Now I struggle but at least I like the way I look and feel confident about myself again. That is a plus.

I can tolerate most foods and don't dump very often. I take my vitamins although I don't exercise much. All in all, I'm happy w/ my decision and would do it again.

I too struggle but 8 weeks out
by: Linda

I would love to lose like you and be down to 150 a year out.

I keep saying I will exercise. I will...but fail.

I am wondering how you handled some things like bra sizing...I have three different bras that fit well...I mean different sizes.

I have yet to go to get sized professionally. I mean the woman at Lane Bryant did it over my clothes........

So, I have issues with the bra lasting the whole day as before.

I am down a heck of a lot and wondering if I need the BP meds still, and going to get my breathing machine recalibrated on Thursday.

I eat when stressed and right now, I am wondering if that will stop.

I have had dumping a few times but it was the denseness of the food...and I do not learn by reading of other's experiences...no, I fully experience it for myself.

Just had wheat toast with reduced fat peanut butter for supper. I have had issues with constipation. Does that go away? It really kicked in once I had the iron supplement for two weeks. I am glad that I am able to go finally but when it did not move it was agony.


Bye for now, and continued success for you.
Good Point

Amber,

Congrats on your success!

Thanks for raising a VERY important point...

...that WLS isn't a quick fix and that it doesn't erase the DESIRE to eat.

You are clearly managing those desires well and I commend you on your daily efforts!

Keep up your great work and please let me know if I can ever be of help to you!!
