Hi everyone,
I'm returning to the forums after a several year gap (enough that my account wasn't recognized lol). I had my sleeve 8 years ago and it was the best thing I could have done. In the past year however, I've had a slip backwards. I can blame covid, and I can blame the fact that some of my psych meds changed (Yes, I'm a success story that you can be crazy and have a vsg!!!) but the fact is I became a couch potato that stopped putting water and protein first.
SO... to put a stop to that I'm going back to basics, and that includes the support I always enjoyed receiving and giving here. Although I've gained recently I'm still happy to say that after 8 years I've got 125 pounds permanently off, and about 50 - 70 to take off now. I know it's not going to be easy, and that I'm going to have to get moving in addition to my water and protein in addition to support.
My situation is very different than it used to be - I don't have nearly the income I used to and so I don't have the kind of funds I used to spend on protein shakes and isopure drinks each month. I need to learn to prioritize again to make the important things truly important.
Have a great day everyone!!!
