Welp. That's depressing. And very accurate for me.
 
My timeline (that I can remember)
 
2003 - 200 lbs, graduated high school tried Jenny Craig, Weight Watcher's, Herbal Magic, physician-supervised weight loss
2004 - 230 lbs, freshman "15"
2006 - 200 lbs with diet/exercise concurrent with first serious relationship
2006 - 230 lbs, 3 months after end of first serious relationship
2007 - 250 lbs
2008 - 220 lbs with diet and exercise, then started a grueling intensive 3 year program
2009 - 250 lbs
2011 - 275 lbs, graduated from said program, then couldn't find a job for 4 months, did food and retail therapy
2012 - 235 lbs, with personal trainer costing $4000 with diet/exercise
2013 - 285 lbs, highest weight ever at pre-op for vertical gastric sleeve surgery, found out 2 weeks before surgery I am hypothyroid.
 
Time to put an end to this horrific yo-yo dieting.
 
It reinforces in my mind that I'm doing the right thing by having this surgery. No turning back now.

I am surprised at how well the first day of the diet went, The hardest part was Dinner when you could eat 3oz of protein. That made me hungry. But I prevailed. It didn't hurt that I registered 1 of my kids for High school & spent 5hrs over there trying to sort out a messed up schedule. I put 2 bottle of water in my bag & drank them slowly. I've had a bit of a headache but I think that is part of detoxing from Sugar & Caffeine. I did pretty good with water. Better than I thought. I just need to try to add 2 more bottles.The whole "dry meal" thing is rough on the water intake.
I got 59 grams of Protein so I will take it. I need more but that's a good start. I am thinking why my Dr put his patients on a 2 week diet is to work the bugs out the best you can before hand. rather than after. its a lot of managing your time, & being accountable, I guess this is where all the other diets I have been on come into play. A learning experience. I think the second thoughts are all part of the process too. I have noticed I second guess when I want something not on my diet. I just do my best to remind myself, I have tried numerous things & crashed & burned. now it's time to succeed. move forward & just flat out do the best I can do. some days will be hard some I won't think twice about. this is just a fact of life. That's where this site comes into play. A place to vent with others that can relate. Good Luck to everyone no matter where you are on your Journey!
