It's been a while...but here I am.

Hello everyone! It's been a good while (like last summer) since I've posted. I used to spend at least 20-40 hrs a week at my computer pre-op. But post-op I just don't have time to just "sit" anymore. I rather be outside "doing life". But, I am trying to do better about keeping in touch with my "peers". I moved away form my surgeon a few weeks post-op and there aren't any support groups near here (Winona, MS). I miss talking with others that know what I'm going though. So here I am I'm back. I work a funky 7 days on/7 days off schedule so if you don't hear from me in like a week it's probably my 7 off and I'm buzzing around somewhere other than in from of my computer. Happy Easter and GOD bless you all.

Hi and HAPPY EASTER to you too. We do get busy for sure and then we know we have wonderful support here when we need it. Take care and have a great day. Debbie M

Thanks Debbie! And yes we do need support and it comes best from people who've "been there".

Hey Girl, Remember me Shannon from NC. We had our surgery on the same say. How are you? I have lost 145 lbs. It's slowed down a lot but I am not too far from my goal. I hope you are well and feeling great!!! Your pictures looks fabulous!! Shannon

Minus 145 that is wonderful I've slowed down these last few weeks. I've lost 120 lbs total but only like 10 lbs this past month. I still feel like I'm on the right track so I'm not stressing yet. I've been ordered by my doc to exercise 5 days a week and I think I'm just losing inches and gaining muscle right now I hope so anyway. by the way...You look great!! Keep up the great work.

Welcome back! Your weight loss is fantasti****ep up the good work and come back when you can!

Thanks Karen. The best part has been re-joining my doc's message board. http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/forums/messageboard.php?ID=1100810226 It's really nice to be back and be welcomed back. I hope to stick with yall this time. MsSmiles

I get so busy I don't post a lot either, but always check in to read the new posts. I'm down 145 from my heaviest weight, 135 from surgery date. It's slowed down so much lately, that I get a bit scared. I need to get moving, but have had so, so much trouble with the arthritis.

Wow! Congrats to you!!! I read your blog and you are at goal? That is sooooo wonderful. I'm trying not to stress out but reading how so many others are so close to goal. AHHHHHH!! I find myself grazing a bit lately. 1st step is admitting it, next step STOPPING IT. I guess that's why I came back to this site. I see others are struggling with me and I cope better. Thanks for saying hi.
