I am hoping to rekindle my inspiration that I had right after surgery. I have fought my weight forever. Most success I had was with Medifast. I made it down to 225. A loss of 70 pounds. I got to the point where I couldn’t stand to eat another packet of food, so I proceeded to gain it all back and then some. I decided to go with the surgery option. I went in knowing it wasn’t the cure all, I would need to work it. Starting weight was 321, but had to see a nutritionist and lost about 15 pounds before my July 2015 surgery. I lost about 50 pounds post surgery. I found out that highly processed carbs still go down quite nicely. So I went back to my emotional eating when stressed. I have at least maintained around 278 for the last 6 months. I am the caregiver for my morbidly obese mother. She lives on her own, but I am her transportation and errand runner. I so don’t want to turn into her. I love her, but she is eating herself into a wheelchair. With the new year, I am hoping to get back to basics. Is it still possible to lose weight this far out from surgery? I know that I still have restriction with the sleeve, but have been bingeing on carbs.
