Over a year and backsliding
Wow! I did not realize how long it has been since I posted...
My weight is about the same as I posted last time. Not because I didn't lose anymore weight, but because I have gained some back! 
This is the biggest reason why I haven't been posting, because I have been embarrased. But then I realized that I said I would share everything, so I can't leave this portion out.
My lowest weight was 189. I was doing really well with my exercise and losing weight, but then I had a set-back that I have not been good about getting over. Last November I started having terrible pain in my right side, and lots of vomiting and diarreah - not associated with the gastric bypass. My family has not had much luck with the appendix (3 family members in a 6 month preiod had to have their's out - including my son) so we thought it might be that. But it wound up being my gall bladder - which is a very common problem after gastric bypass (plus a lovely family history to go with). Also, when the doctor did my gall bladder surgery (Dr. Richard, the ame doc who did my gastric bypass) he found a very large hernia - which is also a common occurence after GBS.
I had that surgery done, and of course had to take time off from working out to heal. The problem is I haven't gotten stared back, yet! And it makes a huge difference. All the muscles that were finally tightening up have gone to flab again. My doc and the nutrionist had told me how important exercise is after GBS, but I guess I kind of blew it off - and now I'm going to have to have to struggle to get going again.
The other thing that has been bad, is I take Ambien for chronic insomnia. Love the fact that is helps me sleep, but my husband told me that I am very bad about snacking after I take it. The problem with Ambien is that I don't remember anything I do while I'm taking it. So here I am eating stuff, and don't even know it the next day. 
I am going to check with my doctor about switching meds, because this is a bad problem.
All in all, I am very discouraged, and know I have no-one to blame but myself. Everthing that is going wrong are things the docs warned me about ahead of time (well, except the Ambien - but who could have guessed that?!) I need to get myself back in gear. To have gone through this surgery, and all that went with it, and still be overweight is not an option!
I'll be back to let you know how my "renewal" is going.
