      you are doing amazing!!!

  14. Been reading some posts and never a profile (ok rarely) I think it should be a requirement to fill out some kind of profile to even be here...not saying you have to put it "all out there" or post pics like some want to...but some information should be necessary...maybe that would weed out some of the bad apples...just my thought of the day!

    1. lthueme

      lthueme

      I am a newbie here and I totally agree with you! Been working on updating my profile, a little at a time.

  15. Feeling happy, feeling content, feeling loved, feeling thinner, feeling PROUD, feeling very, very blessed!!

      me too chasing. thanks so much for your comment on my christmas miracle post. I just want anyone who is worried about how they will do to know bad situations can get better

  17. WLS surgery is not a magic wand with a magic cure for something that has plagued us for, usually, most of our lives...this will be a journey not a quick 'road trip'.

    1. ribearty

      ribearty

      So true. Enjoy the ride and learn from your experiences. I feel it will be a lifelong lifestyle once I get to the maintenance stage. I know some parts will be automatic such as not drinking after eating, but others will require more attention lest I slip back into old habits. As many have said on this forum, they performed surgery on our stomach not our head.
