I've Missed This Place



Recommended Posts

Well, I feel sort of guilty. As I tried to learn all I could about the surgery, during my recovery and as I learned I relied so much on those who had gone on before me, It brought me such joy and probably was what helped me be successful those first few months. So, I have realized that I should be here for those folks who are getting their start too. Thanks to all of you who have supported me, and to those who may need support or have questions I'm here.

Thanks and good luck!

Anna

Hey Anna! Way to go girl! We've missed you too although I, like you, have not been nearly as participatory here as I probably should be. This board was absolutely integral to my success. I do keep the website up on my screen most of the time but I don't write as much as I should. Things were just so easy for me overall, the surgery was a breeze, the loss was a breeze and maintenance hasn't been bad at all. It would be hard for me to counsel someone having a hard time, but I would sure be happy to try.

My body found it's peace at 152 and has been staying there since October and drifts around 2-3 pounds. Life is just amazing! I know you feel the same! Don't be a stranger, woman! :)

Anna,

I don't know if you remember me, but I was a newbie back in April of 2010. I finally got approved and had surgery in February 2011.

I know those of you who have gone on to be so successful with your weightloss are out there living your new life, but it's SO great to hear from y'all once in a while.

Congratulations and WELCOME BACK!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
