Hello everyon, In april 2009. I started at close to 400. Very quickly lost 130lbs. I then got pregnant miscarried, lost a few pounds but was starting to struggle. I became pregnant again this time had a very healthy baby boy. I had a miscarriage prior to surgery as well, and a precious baby girl. My husband deployed to Iraq between all of this as well. I have a very supportive husband as well. I am now struggling to loose weight harder than before the surgery. At my last checkup, I talked to my doctor and was told due to stressors, and the hormone changes of the miscarriage and healthy pregnancy my body doesn't even recocnize the surgery anymore, and he looked at me and said you will have to fight harder now than before your surgery. I was devistated. I have had weight issues my whole life. So I'm here now I have 85 obs I want to loose. That is not my doctors goal weight for me, but it is MY goal. So far this site is helpfull. I just get so frustrated that I went through all of the struggles of the surgery and only lost half of what I needed. But looking on the bright side, I've only gained back about 15 lbs so I'm still 115 lbs smaller than I was 3 years ogo. It really helps knowing you are not the only one.
