Topic: 6 years out still a success
I havent been on here for so long. I just wanted to pop in to let you new patients know there are patients that have done wonderful. When I started my process in 1995 there wasnt alot of great success stories. All I heard was those that failed. It was so frustrating. So has it been a breeze? Was it a magic cure? The answere is no. I will be 52 years on in April. I work now with special needs children. I have a very physical day. My weight started at 311. My lowest is 150 which was not good my ideal weight 170 has me in a size 10. I am currently at 180 so 10lbs is all I would like to lose. It feels wonderful that I am not looking at 100plus lbs. I just want to let you all know it is so worth it. I hate that phrase it's gone for good because in a split second 50 lbs are back on and you have to lose it the same as everyone else . Good luck and don't ever give up.

Topic: LGBT forum invitation
Hello,
I just wanted to let people know and anyt there is a forum for the community and anyone who is friendly and want to stop by. I was very active 3 years ago and would like to see it become active again. It is listed under "weight loss related"
I am not attempting to offend anyone. I understand that some might not agree with me posting. I am doing it to help LGBT people. Everyone has the right to not agree. I respect that.
Thank You !

Still haven't pulled my head out of the sand but will do the carb buster diet come Sunday. Gotta get off this bad trip. I know my band only has .3cc but that is no excuse. I ate better empty. Here's what I ate today:
Friday is just another day, nothing changes. This will be my mantra. Of course you all know by now that weekends are a big issue with me. Old pattern was to sabatoge the week of doing well by going buck wild on the weekend. This too shall pass.
Take care and don't make tomorrow foodwreck Friday.

Today I will make an excuse for my poor eating. What's done is done and it doesn't look like I can fix the mess I've gotten myself into so now I will just have to pay and go on. Bottomline - timeshare issues. All I can say is let the buyer beware.
So after that being said I am going to suck it up and stop swallowing it up. Here's what I ate today.
From this point forward my wallowing in self-pity due to poor judgement is over. Eating cannot solve my problem but only add to it. Life goes on.
Hope all of you are well and staying on track.

Topic: Accountability - Saturaday 12/31/11
I am back. Really back. Went to that bad place. Ate like the food had no calories, like I did not have wls and would not gain weight. The small amount of fluid in my band is not helping right now. The burden is on me to work harder.
This year is on its way out and my new year with new plans is on its way in. Hope all of you plan to join all of me in being more accountable in 2012.
Accountability covers more than what we put in our mouth. It takes work in all areas of our life to reap good results.
Pray and work for good results in 2012. Take care and make wise and informed decisions.

Topic: RE: Dr. Thomas Sonnastine
He has not moved all over the place, he is in his dream job now and I expect he will be staying there for a long while.
There is a doctor's office in Lexington that loves to slander his name and these posts were more than likely started by them, they have been known to do that and caught. One of Dr. Sonnanstine's patients that got angry because he left Georgetown or even a patients family member.
People need to get a life and quit trying to destroy everyone else's. As for me I will follow Dr. S to the ends of the earth if needed because he is that good.
