Happy Anniversary July Babies

It's been a long time and dont know if anybody checks in anymore.  This is my anniversary.
Can you believe 6 years have gone by!  The batlle continues.  Never got under 200, my highest at surgery 326.. my lowest.. 216...my highest after surgery 263!  Decided to take the psychiatrist route.  Self-sabatoge was killing me.  I'm back down to 250.. I think 199 is in my future!

Hugs to you all!!!

Hugs to you also. I have continued to be an active silent reader of this site. I read July Babies forum, revision, complications and Arizona on a regular basis. The reason I do not post is when I was 2 yrs out I developed VERY VERY serious complications and struggle to this day as a result and I do not want to discourage anyone considering surgery.  My anniversary is the 13th and it seems in some ways it was only yesterday and other times it seems a life time ago..but 6 yrs wow for us..and all the others. I often wonder how the others are doing!!!!

Janette

I miss the good ole days when this board was hopping.  Glad a few folks stop by from time to time.   I too wonder how all others are doing.

Come out... come out wherever you are!

Have a great weekend!

OMG...Denise, you sound just like me! I'm glad to see that you are still around, although not happy that you are facing the same struggle that I am. I hope that, all things considered, you are doing well.

Hey Pamela...

I'm doing well.  The weight is SLOWLY coming off... I'm working my buns off... two workouts a day and back to basics PROTEIN PROTEIN PROTEIN.  I've promised myself once I get back down I won't put myself through this again. I got lazy, that's all, discovered my pouch could handle what it shouldn't.  Knowledge is dangerous.

Anyway, with my therapist on my case daily, some times mutiple times a day, I'm getting back on track.  199 here I come!

Have a great weekend.

It's my 6th anniversary too and I haven't been to this website in years. Pre-op weight about 275; today I weigh 138 but it's not without working at it. I struggled for awhile & was up to 168 but staying on track again. I've had some health issues too but staying on B12 shots, supplements & eating healthy has benefitted  me. Surgery was the best jump start that worked for me; it was not a magic solution because to this day I have to monitor my indulgences to keep my weight down. God Bless you all.

Bonne, you inspire me.  The weight is slowly coming off, but its a battle this time around.
That 30 lb bounce just snuck up on me.  I'm convinced I'll get back down but wow...

Have a great weekend!
