In September I started Weight Watchers...again...I had lost 73 pounds since I had my lap band surgery and had hit a plateau. I thought it would be helpful to join with a friend and really have a weight loss plan. Things started going really well. I was losing weight consistently and at a healthy pace, I actually got down to 98 pound loss! I was so excited to finally hit the 100 pound mark.
Everything got derailed in February when I got kidney stones. That was one of the worst experiences of my life! Because I was so nauseous and throwing up all the time, my doctor unfilled my band. So, my empty band coupled with the complications of the stone, caused me to slowly start putting weight back on. As of today I am back up to the 73 pound loss. It has been such a mental blow to me to gain back the weight and to basically have set myself back 8 months! I was really just out of the game.
I am finally back on the wagon and have made committments to myself to follow the program. I have gotten some fluid put back into my band, but really need to get another fill so that my band can help me with my weight loss war. I promise myself that I will keep track of my food, my activity, and stay within my points allowance. I KNOW that this works for me, I had such good success just a few months ago.
