Just checking in to see if any of my January 2007 surgery peers are still around....if so...How are you doing 11 years later? I doing well and the time has flown by! I miss hearing from each of you and pray all is well. I haven't been on here in years and don't even know if people still use the site. It was such an amazing resource for me after having surgery. I am thankful to have had you to share my early years with!

I am willing to try :-) I dont know if most of the group are evening using OH anymore though....maybe if we keep chatting and posting new topics on regular basis they will come around and peek to see what is going on? :-) 

Hello Marly,

i just read your post and I'm sorry to hear your gaining. I am 8 years out and I started gaining in my 6 year I gained up to 198 I was so scared That I would get back to where I started which was 264. So I went to a diet clinic the taught me haw to eat all over again and I realized that although I still can't eat a lot I was eating junk all day long so I was slowly putting the weight on. After about 6 months I had lost so much weight that I was diagnosed with failure to thrive. I readjusted my diet once again and I know have it under control I weigh in this morning at 142 which tells me I need to gain 8 pounds I have to keep my weight at around 150 because I'm having hanging skin issues. I would be happy to help you get thru this part of your journey if you like just let me know 

Thanks Stephanie I'm glad you took the time to reply. I agree I miss  this group it was such a help to me. And although I still have support from my family it's not the same as from those of us that have gone thru this journey. Perhaps together we can revive it 

Happy Anniversary! And how cool that you will be running your 1st 1/2 marathon!! Way to keep fit!!
