Hi Family

It has been a while since I posted, I can't believe that we are going on 10 months post op. I am happy with my weight loss but have noticed that wls was not what my dr explained to me. He told me I would dump ( never happens) i guess the only thing that he told me that was true is that wls is just a tool to help you, and now I know that part is so true. I don't eat as much as I used to but I still have to make the right choices when choosing my food. It is getting hard because the weight loss is not like it was when I first had surgery. I am happy with my weight loss and the fact that I haven't seen exercise equipment since highschool, and now I am able to do a hour on the eliptical machine just is mind boggling. I am struggling right now to get to my goal weight, but I will pray and ask for strenghth. I also wanted to tell everyone to keep up the good work. I am soo happy that I have this board for support. I still have 93 pounds to go to get to my goal weight. Seems like a very hard task. But I will pray. 431 Pre op 273 Current 180 Goal

Hi there. You are doing so well and we are proud of you! Keep fighting for those good choices and you'll continue to lose. You can do it! - Stephanie

Hi Sweety Pooh! I had been off of the boards for a week or more and missed your post! I'm glad to see that you're still around and doing so great. I can't believe you can do an hour on the elliptical! I can do maybe 10 minutes and I'm dying! I've found the same thing that I can eat anything sugary or fatty and I don't feel any difference. It is definitely hard to make the right choices when a big part of the reason why I chose RNY was to have that negative dumping reaction to all things bad. Figures we'd be one of the non-dumpers, huh! We can just take it day by day and do our best. BTW, we're just about the same weight now. I've been hanging around 275 for a couple of weeks now.. are you stalled there too? It just doesn't want to leave! Anyway, welcome back and I hope to see you posting again. Lauren
