Hello Julie!!
Seems like life has taken you for some wonderful turns!! Congrats on teh Baby Boy and the divorce and to the MAN OF YOUR DREAMS!! But mainly CONGRATS ON MAINTAINING SUCH A WONDERFUL WEIGHT!!
I had surgery Sept 23, 2003 my starting weight was 264 also..however i'm currently at 159...I eat junkfood but i'm changing that as we speak..i want to get back down to 145 sooo bad or even 135. I've gon thru a divorce also however like yourself met the man of my dreams in 2007 and remarried! Keep up the great work!!! And i'll follow suit!
I gained a bunch of weight at 5 years out but it's all gone now. I just started running and I hope to do a half marathon in April (done a few 5K's and one 4.4 miler).
I still have bad days but I'm okay with that. I'm still married and we've moved several times (Coast Guard). I'm 5'7 and 155-157 depending on the day/week.

Hello All,
I am a bit disgusted at the moment. I had wls in Sept of 2003 with major complications in 2006 to 2007. I am coming along fine; howver, I have gained 28 lbs since the surgery. I know it may not seem like much to everyone out there; howvever, I am seeking some support and help to get back on track. And maybe, just maybe some new friends on line to keep me motivated. Congrats on your new relationship.
