I haven't heard from Cheryl and I'm missing her too!!!!!!!
I'm here...lurking away! Worried about Cheryl and keeping her in my prayers. Wish I had her real email address, I used to have it but misplaced it.
I am doing great. Have had a bout with gastritus , but as long as I take my nexium I am fine. Haven't lost anymore weight. 50 pounds since surgery and 25 pounds before. But my blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugars are all NORMAL and so I feel great. My protein levels are just slightly down and I have had no hair loss at all and can eat everything (though I still watch my fats and sugars very closely.) I never once have dumped or got the foamies or got anything stuck and I have always (since 6 weeks out from surgery) been able to eat normal size portions. My doc here is pretty sure my pouch is bigger than most, but without a scope there is no way to know for sure and even it it is, I would not have it redone. I feel too good. I bought a treadmill and am trying to walk every day. Sometimes I do and sometimes not.
The winter has been easy here,. but they do a TERRIBLE job of plowing the roads so even 4 inches makes the driving treacherous. I am looking forward to spring! I plan on being back in Maine for a couple weeks in August. Shalll we have another gathering?
I will probably to a video update soon...on my treadmill just for laughs. You are all doing so great. Kate, I hardly recognized you in your new pics. Good luck to all you newbies. You are so lucky to have found this group of wonderful women! Even when you don't here from me, know that I am not far away rooting you all on.

Hi Terri...So nice to hear from you and that "things" are going well...
you're very missed aound here !!
Looking forward to seeing you in August...sounds like a good time for the "2nd Annual Summer Gathering"

I am so ready for warmer weather and lots of sunshine !!

It wonderful to hear from you. I hope the treadmill helps kick start your weight loss.
