After you've adjusted to life after VSG it's easy to become complacent. I know I did. And I think that is the reason for my recent weight gain.
The time right after my VSG was exciting, I was focused on eating right and watching the pounds melt off. Once I was where I wanted to be I gradually moved away from thinking about how I was eating and got back to life. Moving on was a good thing. I always wanted to be able to let my weight fade into the background. However, my VSG didn't resolve my issues with food and I still need to be vigilant. I kind of forgot that.
My weight gain has awakened me to the fact that I can't eat and drink whatever I want with no consequences. Over time I've gradually learned the tricks to eating and drinking more than I should. I used that to fall back into old habits of using food to sooth, cope and entertain myself.
I've got some work to do but I'm ready. I have a super tool in my gastric sleeve and I'm going to use it!
