This has been so good to read. I am 27 months out from surgery. Up 3 to 5 lbs off and on. Have been doing well til just recently.. Struggling with body image of not getting to "goal". Your mind can be your worst enemy at times. You have to educate yourself continuously. Emotions run wild unless controlled with understanding. Thanks again. We all need each other. Not enough here talking 2 yrs out.
