A question for lurkers.......

Have not posted in a long long time, but to answer your curious question....yes this is why I stopped posting due to weight gain. Very ashamed to admit it and I know WLS was the best thing I could have done for my health. The weight started to come back 3 yrs. ago after changing my RA meds and adding back in the prednisone and methotrexate shots and several surgeries which kept me immobile for a while each time. My surgeon when I saw him I was ashamed to enter the office. I never got to my goal and my pouch has not gotten any bigger than a extra large egg. 2 weeks ago I weighed and cried after leaving the drs office. I can't blame the gain on meds alone. I like potato chips plain and hot pork skins several times a week. I still dump on sugar contents over 7 grams and gresy foods. I hate to eat meats so I am a veggie person with meats every now and then very well cooked and falling apart. I walk every other day for an hour or two through my neighborhood. One because I have no car now. But I enjoy it. So yes I am one of those who will admit I just lurk now and envy those who have done very well with losing and keeping it off. My lowest weight was 195 lbs. in February 2005. I am now at 263.5 lbs. A 69 lb. gain and not liking where I am.

I use to post alot when I thought I was getting surgery the first time.  Then through a series of set backs and no surgery I stopped coming on OH because I was so freaking disappointed.  Since getting surgery on Nov 3, I have been on the VERY tired side and have since gotten pneumonia.  

I lurk because I am not living in AL yet and spend more time on the KY board....
I expect to move to AL this summer/fall and hope to bond with the AL OHers after my move!!!!
This seems like a very friendly and supportive board.
