Hello Vera, I am a december baby too. Ive gone from 285 to 154 . Since the past few mths Ive gained 20 I always eat Ive got to get back on the banwagon baby before I gain more weight

It's so easy to gain some of our weight back. I think it's just getting back on track. I'm going to start working out this next week after I see my Doctors and get the OK. Donna

Hi Vera, You look wonderful I remember all the support we gave each other three years ago regardless if it was good or bad. Now it seems like everyone has gone their merry way and don't have time for the December 2004 WLS baby boomers I have my good memories and bad memories. The good was being approved for this surgery as I fought so hard to get it. Seeing myself gaining my health back as the weight came off. Being able to do tasks that I never could do before without getting winded. Being able to sleep without a machine breathing for me. Feeling like I was on top of the world once. My self esteem came back and felt beautiful once again after all these years of carrying that weight around. I don't feel like a freak in a freak show anymore when I go out into public. I was blessed Bad end of this WLS is that I become compulsive with my eating and was fearful of gaining ANY weight back so I stopped eating which in turn made me sick to my stomach when I did eat and I was forcing myself to throw up. Then I got very weak and unable to even get out of bed. Could not even hold down a job anymore Without going into a long drawn out story and boring everyone. I ended up in the ER and then the hospital for almost a week. My gall bladder stopped working and caused me liver problems. Carried a bag around from October until December 28, 2007. Now I'm recovering from having my gall bladder removed and hoping to get myself back on track here with my eating and weight. Had me on steroids for some weeks and we know what those do to us. I was blessed with this surgery and given a second chance at life in being reborn. There is a God and a Angel watching over me Hugs Donna
