Hey Hons!!! I haven't been on here in so long. I can't get on at work and I have to fight the kids for the computer in the evenings. Well, It's been 2 yrs now!!! I can't believe it. I'm so happy. I've reached my personal goal of being under 200 lbs. I made it to 195. My Dr's goal for me is 175. I'm 5'10 so, 195 is OK with me. Starting out at 305 lbs, I feel so much better. I havn't updated my picture in over a year, so I look a lot different. As for my health, I have more bladder control, my heart isn't racing all the time, my knees aren't hurting, I'm not sweating purfusely, and my energy level is great. FOR YOU NEWBYS AND ANYONE CONSIDERING WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY. THIS IS NOT EASY. FOLLOW YOUR DR'S ORDERS. LISTEN TO YOUR NUTRICIANIST. TAKE YOUR SUPPLEMENTS. KEEP YOUR APPOINTMENTS. GO TO THE SUPPORT GROUPS, EXCERCISE. PUSH THOSE FLUIDS. USE THIS TOOL TO THE FULLEST!!! PEACE AND BLESSINGS ALWAYS!!! Nadine

Welcome back to the board and congrats on your loss. Also, thanks for the soud advice. I've had such a great experience with my WLS (as I sit here typing this in my size 36 jeans --woohoo!) but, you're right, it isn't easy. Keep up the good work, --Eric

Congratulations on your weight loss!!! ... and thank you so much for the advice. As a pre-op, I'm looking to get all of the insight and advice I can from those of you who have made it over to the other side. Blessings, Antoinette

Thanks. This forum was such a great help to me when I was considering weight loss surgery. I would come on here everyday. At first I was too nervous to ask a question. Once I got over that fear people here were so helpful. I wish you Peace and Blessings on your journey.

Hey Nadine! Happy anniversary !!! Hugs, Mo

Comparison is the thief of joy!

If we spend our time comparing our life/weight loss/body to others, we totally miss what WE have accomplished. Keep in mind how far you have come and what you can do now that you couldn't do weeks/months/years ago. I hate the expression " It's all good", but in this case it fits! Wherever you are in your journey ... It's ALL good!!!
