ryn2bthin 87 Posted February 6, 2015 As of 2/6/14 I will be at one year.. yahooo!!! Gastric Bypass Starting weight: 243lbs Current weight: 133 lbs This year has been a roller coaster with many ups and downs along the way. To say this journey was the "easy way out" would be so wrong. I've cried,vomited,stressed that I wasn't losing weight as quickly as others (which was way to harsh on myself). I have forced myself to eat then turn around a few days later and remind myself not to eat too much food. I have obsessed over drinking fluids or having bowel movements. ( sorry if that's too graphic for some of you). I have driven my dear sweet supportive husband crazy with my emotions. I'm not perfect with following the doctors schedule plan of eating, but I follow what my new pouch allows. I allowed myself a treat here and there and maybe I enjoyed it but most of the time I have paid the price for doing so. I have learned to Celebrate the non surgery victories and stop focusing on that scale. I am happy and healthy for the first time in Twenty-five years. I have no regrets having this surgery other than not doing it sooner. My true journey is still to come as I approach the maintenance phase (I still need to lose another thirteen pounds) I know I will make mistakes,but that's ok as long as I learn from them. 1st picture is of me on the day of surgery. 2nd picture is a week ago Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
