Hi everybody,

My name is Angie and I'm new to this online support method. I'm looking for people my age with whom I could relate to and seek advice from with no judgement. I'm almost two years post op and have lost over 170 pounds. I actually dropped almost 10 pounds below my goal and have maintained it since my weight stabilized in September.

I’ve been fortunate enough to stick to a healthy eating regimen for almost two years now. But realistically it's not perfect, and believe me the struggle is never over. Besides seeking advice, I'm also here to give advice when needed. I love to cook and remake healthy renditions to recipes, and am more than happy to share.

I also struggle with depression and body image issues, and would love to connect and help others in similar situations. Feel free to contact me, I don't bite!

Hi Angie & Welcome!

My apologies but I am not in your age group, I am 52. Does it count that I feel like I am in my 20's again?LOL!

Congratulations on your incredible weight loss and more importantly your maintenance. You should be very proud of your self!

I really hope and pray I can be successful at maintenance, I never want to return to my old fat self.

You can both receive and support many on this site. I just wanted to say welcome!

Hey, I'm 23 too! I'm Abby, from Rochester NY. I had my RNY on August 17th, so I'm only 4 months post op. I started at a higher BMI as well. Can't wait to be 170 pounds down from surgery. It's nice to meet you. ^_^

      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.
