I Broke out of the 2's

[Cindy Fischer 23]

So excited that I broke out of the 200's !!! Ok for the second time but for me that is meaning I am really on my way back to my lowest weight since I originally had the surgery. I also notice that I am feeling better again, about myself, I feel more like getting into projects and getting my hands dirty. I never thought I would have to travel this road twice but I am so thankful that I stuck this out, went through 4 total surgeries to be back in the place where I can have success with the tool that helps me have my weighloss. Honestly I think at some point when I had become so accustom to being 155# and feeling great I forgot that the band was the edge I needed. Gaining back 70# scared me to death, I was scared to go to the doctor. Scared and ashamed that I had failed and that I would have to have my band removed because something was making it not work any longer. Long story short, I did have to have multiple surgeries, ended up having to remove just the port and getting it replaced a month later, but I am seeing the person I know I can be once again!!t

Congratulations on getting back to where you were! Failure is only failure when you give up.

Keep up the good work!

I too have had 4 surgeries in one year, LBS, port revision and 2 total knee replacements 4wks apart. Its been a challenge, but I see things getting better and better everyday.

Best wishes for continued success!

Hi Cindy, so happy for you -- and inspired by your commitment to getting healthy whatever it takes. I know that return to self feeling, the renewed energy and connection. That is a wonderful place to be. I am feeling just a bit of that on my pre-op diet. Maybe it has to do with focus and intention -- that clarity of wellness. And Congratulations on reaching Onederland, too! Yippee!

I'm SO close!!! Even with an empty band (2days only)
