WOW!!! Eight years Yesterday!!!

I feel so blessed to have had this surgery!!! I admit I have regained about 25 lbs but am on the way to taking it back off-lost 6 pounds this week at WW and am determined not to let it creep back up.  On a different note, most of you know I became alcoholic after WLS.  I am equally proud to say that as of  Feb 25th, I have been sober for FIVE years!!!!!!!!!!!! What a life!  I was unemployed for a year and was devastated to lose my job of 20 years but did not find it necessary to take a drink or regain 120 pounds!  The weight gain came after finding a new job and just sitting at a desk all day!!! LOL!  Gotta find a way to MOVE this old 59 year old body more without exercising....not happening, eh?  Alas, I will get there somehow!  Hope everyone here is doing well and in good health and spirits!  Happy March!!!

God, Karen, so good to see your beautiful face again! CONGRATULATIONS on 5 flippin' years of sobriety! WOW! I remember so well what you went through and am so proud of what you've accomplished. Yes, like you I've gained 25 lbs. and am struggling mightily. The key is MOVING especially for us old farts who are in full blown menopause! Everything slows down, ev - er - ry - thing... Listen, if you ever want to talk email me - would love to reconnect. So, so happy to hear from you again. God, I love this Board!
