Introduction Text I am 59 years old. This is my third and final weight loss attempt. In 1980, at the age of 24, I lost 65 pounds in six months, going from 185 to 120. In 2003, at the age of 47, I lost 115 pounds, going from 265 to 150. Miraculously, I managed to maintain in the 155-165 range for 5 years. This was my biggest accomplishment. I thought the monster was under control. WRONG! Since 2008, back pain, two surgeries, activity restrictions, menopause, job stress, and depression have resulted in my gaining back most of the weight. I need to get back down to a reasonable weight, and make sure that I stay there for the rest of my life. Sleeve date 6/11/15! UPDATE: 8/23/15 -- Have lost 50 pounds since February 2014! Some of this was done gradually on my own. My gastric sleeve gets the credit for 37 of the 50. So happy I chose to take this road!

Mostly for health reasons, get weight back down to 140 again, once and for all. In the process, I hope to learn how to enjoy life without obsessing about body image and food choices.
