LIFE at almost 4 years postop!

Well, well, well.....  Here we all are on the brink of our 4th surgiversary.....  How is everyone doing??  Where are you all at??  We hardly ever post here anymore! 

I know that I am now back to working a full time job after years of not being able to do so.  I went back to work in Sept 2008, just past my 2 year surgiversary.  I'm so busy these days I forget to stop and breathe sometimes!  LOL  What about you guys and gals???

Exactly!  Where is everyone!  Hello????

I'm here! I'm here! I stopped back in because the anniversary is coming up. How's everyone doing? I'm fighting a little regain. I got to goal for about a second and popped back up 10 pounds, then a year later went on oral birth control to stop my periods because I was anemic, another 10 pounds. Now 4 years later, don't know why but 10 more. Sooooo, fighting it, trying to eat right and get this *ss moving again!!! All said and done though....I'd do it again in a second! No complications (I've always been anemic), no problems at all. I did have to cut my waist length hair after the initial "fall out"  because it came back in curly. So now I have shoulder length curly hair and I love it!           Leslie

I have had about 20 pounds total in regain.  But, as I had leveled out at 205 to 208 after getting down to 197 for 10 seconds in 2008, it is more like 15 actual regained pounds as I hit the scale at 222 or so most days now.  Am I good with it?  Yeah, cause I started at 410 pounds!  Would I do it again?  In a freaking heartbeat!

I have remained steady after losing 90 lbs.  I have 5 lbs that I go up or down but for the most part I am at my initial goal of 175.  That is how much I weighed when I got married 31 years ago and where I wanted to get back to.  I find that it is still a daily struggle to make good food choices and not overeat the smooth yummies like ice cream which goes down no problem.
