Kinda New Here- 17 months post op

[Guest guest]

Hi Tara,

I too am a fellow military wife, and am grazing these days.... can you

believe nestle's chocolate chips? I have upped my protein to 3x a day... but

I am still trying to deal with the stress. My spouse is away but is expected

to be back for a few weeks next month.

Welcome to the group!

Hello,

My name is Tara. Im almost 17 months post -op. My starting weight

was 275+ and todays weight is 124. I had surgery 9-07-01. Im having

problems with eating more and cant tell if im over eating or in a

normal stage.Im a wife and Mom im 30 yrs old, I have 2 children LJ

who is 8 and who is 3. Been Married for 11 years, we are a

military family.At this moment we are living in Colorado.Been

dealing with the stress of not knowing if hubby is going to be

deployed or if he is going to Korea, those are the only options he

has right now and i hate the fact of not knowing and i think that is

why the past 2 weeks i have caught my self grazing , i havnt gained

any weight yet, and i know i have to nip this behavior in the butt

while im ahead.So today im doing all protien shakes to see if that

wont help get me on track. Sorry for rambling just wanted to share

alittle bit about myself.

Thanks,

Tara

Welcome to the group Tara. It certainly sounds like a stressful time.

If there is anything we can do to help, let us know. Let your husband

know that I am eternally grateful for all he is doing.
