My Return....
Jan 05, 2011
Well here we go... It has been so long since I have been on here that I am not sure where to start. I was doing really good, but now is a different story all together. I have moved, I have lost weight, I changed my meds to help with the stress of my bipolar, I gained weight. I have more stress.. I gained even more weight. I up'd my meds..I gained more weight. I have been so busy with my son after we adopted him with behavioral problems that it seems I never have time for me.. SO.. I gain more weight. During all of this I kept going in to the doctor to adjust my band. However the stress and the weight gain caused the restriction to be so tight that I couldn't even get water down. At this point have less than 3cc in my band. When I moved to Denver November 2009 I was down to 160lbs and in a size 10/12. I felt good, looked good. Now.. I am 218 and in a size 16/18 - and those are tight. I am so depressed I cant hardly get up every day. I have no support in the weight loss area. There was support groups, however my doctors office had so many changes, and they stopped all outside groups. If I want to go to a group I have to go to the hospital downtown.I guess a low point was when I went to my hormone doctor (yep I have issues there also that is not helping with my weight control) and in the 2 1/2 months between visits with her I gained 26 pounds and the doctor told me that I had to gain control of my excessive weight gain.
Where do I start?? I guess I have to start at the beginning like I am starting the surgery process all over again. So I guess I am saying... I'M BACK!!
