I've been a member on OH for quite some time. I left, because, if I'm totally honest, I didn't feel as though I needed the support after I'd gotten where I wanted to be. I wanted nothing to do with the word OBESITY. I had the Roux-en Y performed on Feb 19 2008. At the point I had the surgery performed, I was at almost 400 lbs and wore a size 32 pants. I felt that my energy level on the inside didn't match what I was seeing in the mirror.
After having the surgery, I lost 160 lbs, and I have now reached a plateau and cannot lose. I will be honest, I KNOW it's because I'm back to not eating right. I feel as though I've had more stressors in the last few years, and I quite frankly did not deal with them appropriately. (NOTE: I also need to include that I had a baby in 2012) I would like to get my GROOVE back and get back on track. The current person I'm with isn't as supportive as the prior and it doesn't help to have a junk-a-holic 4-year-old son who always want to eat at fast-food restaurants.
With that being said, I am now looking for a new support group and working on plans to get back on track starting June. The ppl that I was surrounded by when I had the surgery are no longer in my life. And I've left my hometown for the first time, therefore, I don't have a support group here as well. So I look forward to speaking with you all and discussing our trials and tribulations and helping one another as much as we can! HAGD
