Well I'm 3 yrs and 6 months out and I take 40 mg Omeprazole twice a day. I just had a MRI done and I am going to be taking this for awhile. No matter what I do I have it. I wake up with it even if I just drink Water. Have had it every since the surgery. The pills help but it can be a pain and does keep me up at night without the pills.

Well I am 3 yrs and 6 months out and I am taking 40 mg of Omeprazole twice a day. I just had a MRI done and I am going to taking it for awhile. No matter what I do I wake up with it. No matter what I do. I tried not eating after 6 and only drink Water. Still woke up with it and when I was taking 1 pill a day it would wear off by 8pm. It would keep me up at night. But the pills twice a day make it tolerable.

Well I dont know what affect it will have on you after the surgery. I know for me I have not smoked since the surgery for fear that it will make me want to eat more. I say try it and see how it makes you feel. If you find that you have eaten half the frig then dont do it again. LOL Otherwise enjoy yourself.

Thanks, that is my plan to go when I get off work and by the time I get home I can go to bed and leave the stress on the machines.

Congratulations! Sounds like you are back on track and making some good choices to work off those last pounds. A lot of people say that exercise helps them cope with stress, so maybe that can be your new go-to instead of the potato chips. Worth a shot at least!

Thank you so much !!!!

@@Mocha2871 Go Shotey! Go out and party like it's yo birthday! Congratulations!

I was very active in the beginning but life changes made me step back for a some time. So, it happens no reason to get scared.

I am a year and 7 months out and I have been struggling with getting to the goal. I have not given up but I have picked up bad habits again. I have been going through some stressful things and I found that when I am stressed out I turn to my security blanket of "potato chips". It has made me feel like I was feeling better as I ate the bag of crunchy goodness. I paid for that goodness by the scale not moving or going up in number. Well I got my head together and got focused. Well it happened and I am now 198.2 pounds and I am so excited. It made me feel so good that I joined the healthclub to really put in the work. I am still trying to figure out how to deal with the stress and not go to the chips. So I started at 323 and now 198.2, 48 pounds from my goal. I AM DANCING!!!!!!!!!!!

Well I have not been posting due to things going on in my life. But I am stuck between 205 and 210. I bounce between these numbers. My goal was to be 199 but I keep trying. The weight for 10/17 - 206.4

Well it is now getting close to my big day. I will be 43 in 25 days and I am 10 pounds from onederland. That would be the best birthday gift ever!!! Even if I don't make it the best part is I have not been this weight and size since I was in my early 20's. I have had people look at my pics and say I look young now.

So this is going to be a great birthday

Count me in

Well I did not meet my challenge goal but I am down to 209.6. Very happy about that. On to the next challenge.

Well there's a good thing to all of this I am at 209.6 today which makes me feel good. i will take that. So I am officially 209.6. I am excited about that. I am getting close to onderland.

Ok last weigh in was 217. Well today due to being sick for a couple of days. I am now 206.8

Well I want to say that I will be getting my scale this weekend so I can keep a better count of my weight loss. The digital scale is sending me off. I just wanted to post to say I am still in the game. Lol

I am still the same 217.8. I need to buy a new scale that is not digital because the one I have had me thinking I was stuck at 222 and 220 but went to the doctor and they tell me 217.8 so I need to get one of the old kind.

Oh I forgot I thought I posted. Ok. CW. 222 GW 200. It may be a stretch but why not. So wanted to say that my scale is so off. I am at the doc and their scale says I am 217.8. So that is my starting weight.

Well did not make the goal but am at 223.4. So I will not complain. I'm not were I was!!!!!!

I'm in

Well still at 224. No loss or no gain. So I guess I'm ok. But still got 4 pounds to go to meet my challenge goal. Keep pushing!!!!

Well I felt really good after a week and was back at work. My job consisted of me sitting so I was good. Everyone is different and experience things differently. So I think you will have to wait and see how you feel and go from there.
