Hello

Hi Everybody, I'm not sure if anybody remembers me cuz I don't usually post but I belong to this message board since my surgery was Dec 8, 2004. I have been trying to loose 20 lbs for years and at one point I almost gained 40 lbs and I only lost 65 lbs with my surgery. Anyway it's a long story and that's one of the reasons I stayed away from this web site. I was ashamed about the whole surgery thing. I managed to loose some of the gained weight but I still need to loose 20 lbs. I keep trying every day. I'm also trying to see if I was succesful on changing my picture on my profile. I might have deleted it instead. We'll see. Hope everybody is doing a lot better than me.

Norma, Don't you be ashamed, be proud of what you've accomplised!!! Just keep reminding yourself where you are and how far you've come. I think that we all have gone through that dilema of gaining again, we just need to get a hold of ourselves and get back on track. I've found that if I don't exercise every day the weight seems to come back very easily for me and I have to really watch the carbs that I take in. Keep a food journal and write down every bite you put in your mouth and it really helps you see what you are doing. Don't forget we are here for you and support is so very important to success. Let me know if there is anything I can do for you. Take care, Loni
