6 years ago! No way!

 Hi everyone,

I am not a regular here anymore but I do pop in and read once in awhile. I usually frequent the PS board. 

Anyways, I can't believe that it has been 6 years since my WLS. I had RNY with Dr. Ali in August of 2004. Since, I have lost and kept of 170 lbs!!! WHOO HOOOO HOOO !!! 

I still try to watch everything I eat as not to gain and am happy to say that I am my lowest weight right now since surgery 6 years ago. However, I have had ups and downs......it is very easy to go back to those bad habits like anything.

I am one of those that never drank carbonation. I don't think it makes a difference in WLS loss, but it always felt weird in my stomach. I also stay away from ice cream because I know I could go back to eating a whole gallon! LOL!

I just wanted to pop in and tell you all that YOU CAN do it. If anyone remembers my first 6 months---it was hard. I was pushing the buttons, trying to eat anything I could that "fit" in to the parameters of ok. 

I have some pics posted on my profile. The PS June 25 one is locked, but the others have my Pre WLS look and then pics I took last week while vacationing in Cancun. 

Have a great day all!

Hey, nice to see you again, and to know that you're doing so well.

Cancun--sigh--

Congratulations on your 6 years. Thank you for sharing with us.

Hi Kim,

Thanks for sharing your success with us. I really feal like I am struggling and I am around a year and 2 months out. For the first time since surgery, I have managed to gain 6 pounds. It totally sucks and I feel like an absolute failure right now. Reading your message gives me hope though and the realization that this journey has ups and downs.

Congratulations!
