5 Years Now--how are you all doing?

I think I am the only one who visits this February 2008 forum anymore, but it doesn;t hurt to put a message out into the cosmos, right? I hope you all are doing well.

I passed the five-year anniversary a couple of months ago. Life is GREAT!

I started at 344 pounds and 55.5 BMI and my weight fluctuates a little, between 150 and 155.

I feel great, my clothes fit and because I had the DS, I still get to eat the foods I love, from steak to McDonalds to dessert.

I won't lie--taking vitamins is a pain in the butt, but I try to keep up on them. My labs are still good, but I see some erosion in my D, and calcium. I'm a long way from where I was five years ago, dying from sleep apnea and Type 2 diabetes(which are both gone, thank goodness!).

Take care!

I visit once in awhile so busy otherwise. Sounds like you did great and still are doing great,thats wonderful. I am 4 years out and doing fine. I was 283 highest and now 139 to 145. No more health issues which is wonderful. I had the RNY so I have to watch everything I eat. I find I am  more hungry now then a few years ago, so I still count calories. Best thing I ever did for myself, I'm 63 years old and would recommend this to anyone who is ailing from weight and health problems. Take care
