Been A Little While Since I Have Been Around...

Hi friends.. First time on in a while and see the new format and feel like I am at a new house!!! LOL. Just wanted to stop in and play catch up and see how everyone is doing and skinny you all are! I have been doing well... Still maintaining my weight since I reached my goal last December!! I can't believe I am going on 3 years banded! I go up and down about 5 lbs but that seems to be normal. I will post some pics when I figure out the new site. Look forward to hearing from you!

You do look great. I love that this board has so many success stories. It gives me motivation.

I remember I first became a member of this forum because I wanted to read all the stories I could before I was banded

Hey, Floridays! Missed you. Your new pictures are woowee!!! So pretty! Can't even tell its the same lady form your profile! Congrats on maintaining!

Glad to see you posting again. I was pretty new when I found this site and your posts were very encouraging. FYI I'm now banded ten months and down 90 or so pounds and have met the most important goal of all which was double hip replacement. I hope to be able to move and walk pain free shortly. Again.. welcome back.

I feel we are kindred spirits. I've been banded 13mths and down 103 lbs. I too reached my most important goal, double knee replacements. It's been 3mths on lt knee & 2mths on rt knee. I'm walking close to 3 miles every day, was unable to walk 60' before banding & replacements.

Still a bit tender, but have to keep moving.

Wishing you a speedy recovery!

Welcome back you look Awsome , hope you haven't been up to no good jk , what new life so we don't see you or are you just having to much fun being able to get around getting out and doing things lol.
