Failing at WLS

Jul 15, 2012

February 2, 2004 was suppose to start a new life for me. It started off good and as time progressed and I got comfortable being smaller...BIG MISTAKE. Several surgeries(8) unrelated to WLS and stopped exercising as well as introducing old food habits back made me FAT again. My lowest weight after WLS was 212 (195 lbs. because I was with the flu). I am now last weigh in at my Rheumatologists 281.8. I am miserable and it is getting harder to keep my blood sugars regulated. I am afraid that I may be back on diabetic meds before long. I started trying a new diet called Paleo. After WLS I basicly warded off meats. Meats did not taste good or did not go down and or made me sick no matter which way they were/are cooked. Vienna sausages and soups as well as plenty of vegetables and fruits are what I mainly eat daily. I eat less than 900 calories a day and my RA keeps me from doing any strenuous exercising except walking with limitation. I have always had a good bit of loose skin all over. But hid it pretty well. I feel like I let myself and my surgeon down. I knew this was not a quick fix and started off my journey right. I want to start losing again and where do I start? I have not seen my surgeon in 4 years and feel ashamed to do so. But hopefully there is something that I can do to get to losing again. I do not want to be on a diet, to only fail miserably.
