Hi Everyone, I am sorry I disappeared. It’s been a rough two years for my family. We are all doing better and pray everyone is doing well. I have past my three year anniversary and doing well. Pray everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving and Christmas Holiday. I would like to see if anyone is interested in getting together in the New Year. I like to hear how everyone is doing? Again I am sorry I disappeared. Elaine

Thank you, for sharing you story. I am 1yr and 7 months from my sleeve surgery and my biggest fear is gaining weight, but hearing everything you said about support is very important.

Gina, you look great and are doing well keep it up and see you soon!!! Elaine

Ok

Thank you, KateBruin. 30 pounds from August is great. Don’t let anyone get you down. You are doing this for yourself not anyone else.

Been having issues with my phone and app.

If anyone is interested in join walking at Walt Whitman Mall on Sunday Mornings at 8:30 am we meet by Lord and Taylor’s and do about 3 miles. If interested just come on down.

Hi everyone, the summer went so fast and now here we are starting off the holiday season this Thursday with Thanksgiving. I wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving and a Merry Christmas. If you are interested in meeting again in the New Year let me know and we can see what we can set up.

No, for me the sleeve was the right decision. I did not want to worry about the dumping syndrome you get with the bypass, but that is me. Someone else could be absolutely fine with the bypass

3 yrs post op congrats. I am 1yr post op and doing okay, but I have read a lot and seen people that have gained weight back once past a yr or more. What do you do to keep the weight off. I still do not eat more than I should and try to stay way from the sweets and wine.

2 low fat baby bell cheeses, hummus and 5 whole wheat pretzel sticks, 1/2banana and peanut butter, yogurt low fat with fresh berries, slice low fat cheese with 3 low fat tricuits, 1/4 cup of low fat cottage cheese. Just some suggestions I am allowed from my Dr.

Congratulations!!!! We all get stalled along on our journey. 31 pounds is fabulous. Your body is adjusting to the change do not get discouraged because you only lost 11lbs one month. That is excellent. Our bodies all loose at different paces and it is ok. I am one yr and 2 months post op 84 pounds down. I had stalls some months 4 pounds others over 10 pounds and as you get closer to a year you will start loosing slower and it is ok. Just follow Drs orders and you will be fine. You look amazing and congrats again!!!![emoji6]

I had my sleeve surgery a year ago and in May had a new sleep study. I was told at this point for me it is genetic and I will be on the CPAP. I am down 84 pounds. My Dr said most do come off it after they loose a lot of weight.
