Hey, @bacon! Good to hear from you. Congrats on that camper. We hike a lot in our area and really enjoy it. Like you, I just need/want to be more active.
How’s everyone doing??

Oh ok. I’m in Ross County

Hey peeps. Hanging in there. Had a serious medical scare. Blood sugars out of control. On track for the moment. Hope all is well.

Hey y'all. Would like to hear from my peeps. Sugar has been on track for the time being. Lost 14 pounds. Hope all is well with you all.

Hey there @bacon! Congrats on that great loss! Sounds like you’re rocking and rolling.
I’m doing well, down 20 since the new year. Eating right and going to the gym five times a week. It’s amazing what can happen when I put forth some effort and do what I know to do. ?
Who’s with us???

@s_suther way to stay focused. So glad to hear you doing so well. I really want and need to stay focused with some intensity. Not joined the gym yet. But am walking at least 30 minutes a day outside of work.

@bacon - walking 30 minutes a day is fantastic!! Way to go!!

Hope y'all are well. Think I may have this diabetes thing moving in the right direction. Learning a lot. Have a plan. Sugar been good. Feeling good. Lost 20 pounds since the 11th of March.

Hoped to get support here. I hope you all are well. Feel free to chime in. My band removal surgery is scheduled for Thursday. I've had good success losing recently. Down 60 pounds since March 11th.

@bacon I didn’t realize you were having band removal! We’re you having a lot of trouble? I hope all goes well with your surgery. Please keep us posted and let us know how it goes

@2babutterfly, I had an emergency unfill a couple years back. Things were ok. Other than being super tight every few days. In March my diabetes got out of control and I started a diet to control my blood sugar. Started losing weight and my band started giving me great amount of shooting pains. About 4 times a minute. Memorial day I was working in the yard and started vomiting and dry heaving for the better part of 5 hours. I promised my wife I was having it removed. Fought this thing 11 and a half years. I'm just spent. Hope this group becomes active again and I can stay a part of it.

SO good to hear from you guys!! @bacon - I’m so sorry about your troubles, but sounds like you have a great plan in place. I suppose surgery is today and I’ve asked God for peaceful, comfortable, and quick healing for you, friend.

@2babutterfly - how’s life? You all healed and healthy after your health issues?

@s_suther thank you for your prayers. Surgery went real well. I feel better than I have in months. Crazy to think about just 2 hours after being cut on. O hope you all are well.

I am planning on continuing with this weight loss center along with my current plan. I was 239 on their scale before surgery today. Down from 301. I can not believe I let myself get that heavy again. Praising the Lord for the info and success I have found.
