Well 6 years where have they gone?

Hello everyone

I have not been on here in 3 or 4 years.  Have been doing quite well.  Within 10 pounds of my lowest weight, which was probably too low anyhow.  So glad I had the surgery.  My life is so different now.  Sometimes I forget where I have come from!  New job, new marital status (single again) and new city.

Having issues with hypoglycemia, and still can make the wrong choices food wise, but all in all have figured out what triggers my problems and try to avoid those foods.

About a year ago had a really bad scare, Acute Liver Failure and Acute Kidney Injury, which I nearly died from, but managed to get medical help just in time.  Was in denial about alcohol, which I understand is not unusual.  Replacing one addiction with another.  So have been alcohol free for 10 months now.  Even coming so close to death didn't seem to faze me, as soon as I got the all clear from the specialist went right back to drinking.  Do we ever learn?

Hope all is well with everyone who was on the forum at the beginning.  It's great to look back to see where we've been and how far we have all come.  I remember the Sunday morning weigh-ins and how we would post our victories.  So inspirational.

Here's to another 6 years of good health and happiness,

Cheers,

Jody
