DiminishingDawn got a reaction from melie in Any Long-Timers here
Are there any true veterans on here? I immediately went to the veterans forum here but the definition there is "6 months or more". In wls circles a veteran is typically defined as anyone 2 years out or more. So it makes me wonder I'd there are any log timers here at all?
Anyway, glad to find this forum. More than Willing to help any newbies, meet new friends :-)
I'm 7 years out of rny, teacher and Canadian.
Thanks for having me!

My webpage documents my first year out only.
}Have you gain any weight at all even if you manage to lose it in the 7 years?
Oh boy! It is incredibly easy to gain weight. At one point, I was up 27 lbs! I worked really hard and lost it. Right now I'm up 8 lbs so I'm back to working it off again. It's way harder to lose now
{Have you gotten preggo during the 7 years?
No
{Can you eat more then ever or do you limit your food intake?
I can eat a lot if left to my own devices. I still need to use journalling to keep the weight off and to lose. I have to account for every bite. It's too easy to eat mindlessly. That's what gets me in trouble.
{Do you exercise?
I am extremely active. Mostly walking. 3 miles is a slow exercise day for me.
{Have you had any plastic surgery?
None. I've lost 140 lbs or so. I've learned to live with my wrinkles. I'm 42.
{How do you feel now compare to 7 years ago body wise health wise mentally physically?
Physically awesome. Health is awesome. I have some issues like osteopenia, reactive hypoglycemia and anemia but they are easily managed. To not get out of breath by simple tasks, to shop in normal stores, etc is wonderful.
Body image is totally screwed up

DiminishingDawn got a reaction from Equestriangirl in (Former) Cereal junkies unite!
If you want to maximize your loss, consider putting off cereal for a while. Processed carbs aren't the best way to maximize loss.

DiminishingDawn got a reaction from Big Wojo in Anti-inflamatories
NSAIDs can cause ulcers over periods of time. Some surgeons say never, some say okay with an acid reducers, some say very occasional use.
After being many years out, I take them only of I have a really bad headache. Maybe one day a month ( if that).

DiminishingDawn got a reaction from DLCoggin in Coffee with Caffeine?
It is a myth that caffeine aides ulcers and dehydrates you. That's old information. Read up on that. Not true. Caffeine however may upset previously existing ulcers. Many times they aren't detected prior to surgery. As well, it does interfere with absorption of Calcium.< /p>
