Topic: Hello Again
 Humm where do I even start. I'm divorced and unemployed, gaining weight from depression which just makes me gain more. my lowest weight was 200 and I am now 247. I try to be positive because I am still not 367 which I was the day of surgery, but I am very discouraged and just can't seem to get back on track. I struggle everyday. It's not so much the eating as it is the drinking. I turned to drinking threw the divorce and now I have cut down quite a bit, but the damage is already done. I have a big belly again and lovely dog ears from the skin removal. I refuse to go to my check up cause I don't want to face my life saver and let him know I failed. guess I just needed to vent and come back here. to see how everyone else is doing

Hi Lisa,

Good to see you back again and doing so well!  Sounds like most of us are pretty much in the same spot,,a few pounds gained but AWARE we need to work on it before it gets outta control! Glad to hear you're back on track with the exercise and eating healthy. That's what I need to do! I have a REALLY hard time doing without the carbs. Keep up the good work!

Yes Shar. I do have FaceBook. What's your name on FB? I'll request you as a friend.

Come onnn A-Teamers! Where are you?

Hi Pam,
So good to see you. I am doing ok, struggling like everyone. I play with about 10 pounds but am always trying so hard to lose it. I am trying to go back to drinking protein shakes.....not that they fill me up at all, I just know I do not get enough protein. I can eat a lot more than I would like to. I still fill up quicker than before surgery but an hour later, I could eat again.
I wish we would hear from more Ateamers. I do see a few on Facebook. Lisa and Pam...are you guys on Facebook?
Keep in touch

Hi Everyone! I haven't been here in ages! I just got my 5 year anniversary notice in my email and thought I'd check back here to see if anyone is left. So nice to see you guys again. Lisa A. I'm sorry you are having so many struggles, I sure do hope this new year brings healing & many blessings your way. As for you other ladies, it sounds like you're both doing well and hanging in there. I'm doing pretty good. After my surgery I never had any problems and I've continued to stay on that fortunate path. I'm doing great, aside from a little anemia now & then that I just have to take extra iron for. I've gained back 20-lbs over the past few years but I'm back on track, going to Curves everyday and eating healthy. I always eat healthy but sometimes I let those bad carbs sneak back in a little bit too much. So, back to low, healthy carbs & high protein for me! I wanna shed these extra pounds before summer kicks into high gear! I am so very happy I had the surgery it has truly been a wonderful journey! I'll try to check back once in a while but life keeps me busy these days and I don't have much time for the computer which is fine with me!

Hi Lisa & Shar,

I haven't been here in ages either. Good to see you both here & still posting, even if it's not alot!

5 yrs for us! Wowww.. in some ways it seems a lifetime ago and in others a very short time.

Lisa sorry to hear you are still struggling with the surgeries. I sure hope this next one is the last!

Shar, how about you? How's things going for you?

I'm doing ok,,, probably gained about 25-30 back. Still struggle with the nausea but apparently not enough or I'd have no weight gain, huh? Even with the nausea, I'd do it all over again!

Hope you guys post again and we perhaps hear from more in our "group"

Topic: Merry Christmas!!!
Merry Christmas to my fellow weight loss buddies :)
I know it's been forever since anyone has posted on here, so I thought I would take the time to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Our 5 year anniversarys are right around the corner. How is everyone doing these days??
Me, Im still struggling with the pancreatitis and getting enough to eat.
My weight was doing good at about 125 but in the last 2 months or so I have lost more and now down to 114. Ive lost too much I think. All my bones are sticking out and people say I look anorexic :(
I dont know what else to do though. There are no support groups in my area and my Dr does not practice around here anymore.
I have been bad about taking my vitamins so I am looking into something that wont make me nauseated. Any ideas??? 
Hope to hear from you all soon, I miss my wt loss family.
Love to all,
Cindy

Topic: April makes me think....
Just had my 4 year appointment. Wow, where has the time gone? Have not been around for a long time, life gets busy and I no longer think of myself as an obese person so I just didnt think anymore.
The accountibility has been lacking and now my weight has gone up a bit more. It is time to start thinking like I did just before and after sugery. That mindset was successful and being able to share with all of you made such a huge difference in how my journey went. I could ask and answer ANYTHING and know that you would understand.
I hope this April finds the rest of the A team having fabulous life-we deserve it!
