Hi everyone, aka adriannamae here

Hi,

It's Kelly here, aka Adriannamae.....I'm back with a new profile and name. I've been off OH for a few months getting my life back on track.....I'm happy to say it's going well.....

Many of you know my struggles and things I have been through in the past year, it hasn't been pretty.....WLS brings on a whole new life, and I guess I wasn't ready for that......But with a lot of patience, therapy and work things are much better....

Thanks to those of you who stood by me and put up with my stuff.....I appreciated all the notes on facebook, etc......You all are just amazing people.....

Now I just need to get back on track, I'm 2 years out and have gained 15 pounds back through all the past year stresses......So I will be needing some butt kickings, I'm sure from you guys.....:)

I've been busy fostering rescue puppies, if you are looking for a puppy or older dog let me know and I will hook you up with the place I'm with....

Congrats to all the newbies, This is a great place to come for WLS support....

Love ya, Kelly

Welcome back Kelly................. Glad things are going better for you.................

Marsha,

Thanks, I'm glad too...It was pretty rough there for awhile....

Kelly

Welcome back Kelly.   Glad to hear things are getting better for you!   I'm struggling with the weight right now too.   I have gained about 15 lbs as well in the last 6 months.  I was drinking diet mt dew and eating sweets...and also little exercise.   2 wks ago I gave up soda....and it was tough that first week but now it's not so bad.   As long as I have some Crystal Light here to drink I am fine.  Last week it was the sweets...gave them up but I found it wasn't as bad...for one I don't have it in the house it was only when I was out and about shopping etc...   I just decided if I really really wanted something while I was out I'd choose a small pkg of nuts or beef jerky instead.   Sadie was fine with that as well...I shared my nuts and jerky with her as a treat for both of us.   This week I'm trying to focus on the exercise.   I think this one will be harder for me than the other two.  

I wish I'd have known you were fostering back last summer.   We adopted a 7 yr old beagle mix from the animal shelter.   He's been a great dog!

Take care and keep smiling!

Michelle,

Yep, the weight gain sucks, but we have the tool, we just need to use it....I have lost a few pounds this week but that is from having the Sinus/septum surgery and being unable to taste....LOL....I'm shooting for the treadmill once a day and working my way back up to 5 miles a day on it.....I was doing so good and then just quit.....I just needed a break from everything...I'm also charting my water intake, I noticed that I was drinking WAY too much coffee and only 32oz. of water.....Bad habits crawl back into our lives so easy.....It's up to us to handle it, and take care of it when were ready, and I'm ready.....
I'm glad you adopted from a shelter, they can be the best dogs......

Take care too, Kelly
