I'm going to preface this with, I know I need to accept responsibility and pull myself back up on the horse.

So I'm having some trouble doing that. I had my sleeve in July 2014 and at the time of the surgery they also did a partial hysterectomy. Recovery went well and my weight loss was on track to hit goal. I didn't lose as fast as I would have liked but it was steady for the most part. I got down to 150 pounds and plateaued bad. I'm so disappointed in myself for never officially hitting goal. In addition, I was still having issues with the remaining lady parts and ended up having to have the hysterectomy finished. They did my last surgery in May of 2016 and this last year has been a constant struggle. Being thrown into surgical menopause has completely SUCKED. I'm on HRT but they've had to play with it trying to get the balance right. The worst part is I'm up to 167lbs and I need to stop gaining! The doctor says I'm doing fine and not to stress, "women gain weight with menopause" etc but F that nonsense! I've worked really hard to get the weight off. I can't have it coming back on at 39 years old. I'll be right back at square one.

So now that my rant is over, and I acknowledging I need to do something to hit the reset button, I'm looking for suggestions on getting back on the wagon. Has anyone out there struggled with this type of thing? What worked for you?

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
