1) I was wondering why you signed on to this site?

Because I had just gotten the Lap Band and wanted to meet others like me. I also spent a lot of time reading the success stories. There weren't a lot who'd lost over 200 pounds but there some (like Floridays and Cazzy!) and they gave me the inspiration I needed to think I could do it too.

2) Why are you still here after a year?

Because I've made some great friends here. Also because I see a lot of newcomers who are desperate for facts and information. Now that I'm one of the ones who've lost over 200 pounds, I hope that maybe I can give others the inspiration they need to know they can do it, too. I remember how overwhelming and daunting the task seemed and if I can help someone else to realize it's possible then I'm happy.

3) Why are you still here after five years?

N/A

4) How many years have you been on this site?

Since January 2012, so about 20 months.

To keep an eye out for those who I have made friends with and chat.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
