Hi John! It's been a long time! I rarely pop on here anymore! Glad to see some old faces!

Of course I am glad to see are the new faces too!

Hi Pamela! Nice to see you hun!

As Kim, stated, therapy is never a bad idea. I have found the transformation was not hard for me at all, it was everyone else around me having a hard time with it. That in turn , caused me problems and I found myself self sabbotaging my weight loss. I would highly recommend therapy so you know why you are the way you are. 7,8 and 9 years down the round from now you will be far better off.

Fantastic job! SO proud for you! Looking good and I know sometimes a "goal weight" is really not what is important. The important thing is you are healthier and happier! Congrats!

Oh my Debbie....too funny! The dead huh? LOL

I swear I feel that way sometimes! LOL!!!!

Dakota isn't playing ball this year. I couldn't bribe him with enough money to so I am not going to force him.

I miss you too! 

Hello Sweet Connie! So good to hear from you. Dale, Dakota and I are doing well. Just survived a outside remodel of this old house and getting ready for Dakota to graduate kindergarten in 2 weeks. He will be 7 this year and is just a blessing from God.

I will look you up on FB. I have been thinking of many of you lately and thought I would drop in.


I will shoot you a pm for your email.

I am here Hilary and more than willing to work on this with you. There are a lot of wonderful people here and with their help and our commitment, I know it can be done. We are WORTH it!

I am starting slow....I have to chai latte detox. I know I am drinking my calories and not getting in enough protein. Today I vow to drink 64 ounces of water.

Good luck and I am sure the doc can't be that bad. Let me know what he says too! I am curious!

Hugs Hilary! Your not alone. I too am 5 years out and haven't seen a WLS doc for 3 years. I am struggling too. I have put on a vast amount of weight and need to loose it! All I can recommend is just take what the doctor dishes. I still believe to this day that even though I lost all the weight easily, the emotional part is the hardest. I know what I am doing wrong too, I just haven't hit rock bottom yet I guess because I haven't corrected it. I know there is an emotional issue there that I haven't quite got a handle on.

Good luck to you sweetie and thanks for this post. It's been an eye opener for me and might be as well to many new WLS patients.

I know I haven't given you any words of wisdon but I do want you to know you are not alone.

Much love,
Gail

Hello Stacy! Good to see you as well! Looking good girl! 

Hi Jan! Great to see you as well. And boy, it's very quiet!

Congrats Lisa! I am proud of you for maintaining so well! Keep up the good work!

Debbie! Hey sweet lady and yes I still lurk from time to time but not often enough I suppose as I just caught this.

It was really great seeing you last week and maybe I will see you again. I think our teams do play again on the 28th of May. I hate I didn't get to visit longer but I had to play dugout mom that day. Our team mom ended up working late and I got the job! Dale and I have had so much fun with the tball this year. Dakota is ready for it to be over although! LOL

As far as your hair, you won't have to wait too long for it to be as long as mine. I tell you what... I will just keep cutting mine shorter and you won't have to wait too long!

You are looking great and I will keep you in my prayers!

Love,
Gail
