This may sound funny. But, I am having trouble gaining weight. Or, more accurately, I am having trouble maintaining weight.
Of course, that has always been a problem in the past - just in the upward direction.
You see, I have reached my goal range. The gastric bypass surgery of 6 and 1/2 months ago has been wildly successful. I have not missed food at all. I still do not. I would be happy to just eat twice a day - if that. Problem is, the doc doesn't want me below 170 and I am there.
So what is the problem, you ask? Problem is I am having a low energy day. To be expected but still not alot of fun. Add to that all the other stuff I had to shift around on the calendar and it just seems bigger than it is.
Funny how life can turn around. A year ago, I was watching my weight go up. I was feeling tired, achy, and all that other stuff that goes with being very overweight. Today, I feel the same but it is not because of being overweight. It is probably just the crud and low energy and not eating enough.
I would do this surgery all over again in spite of how I feel today. I wish I would have done it sooner. I will check in with you every once in a while about this subject. It is a wonderful, wondrous journey!
