Checking in

Not alot to say really, but wanted to drop in and say hello.  I've been reading and trying to catch up on what's going on in the forum and was surprised at so many new folks!  Congrats, everyone, on your new path in life! 

I'm still around where I was at my last post.  I hover between 195-205lbs, depending on the day, but usually land somewhere right around 200 (which was my original goal).  I am still off all meds, and have maintained a moderate level of exercise. 

As time goes by, I kind of miss the "newness" of my WLS.  Don't get me wrong, I'm happy where I am, but the excitement of those first few months was great!  I also don't get the comments near as much as I used to.  You know, "Oh my gosh, you've lost SO MUCH weight!..."  and the like.  Everyone I know is "used to" what I look like now, so I'm just "Jason".  LOL  Which kind of scares me because I'm afraid the weight will come back.  Even though I try to be careful, even though I'm committed to this new lifestyle, I'm scared to death I'll regain.  If I get on the scale and see 2 or 3 pounds more than the day or week before, I freak out.   Well, I won't get off on that...I'll just say I'm working on it. 

Anyway, it's nice to see everyone again and it was great to see everyone's updated pics and profiles.  Great job everybody!

It's amazing that it takes such a short period of time to basically lose the weight but such an incredibly longer period of time to wrap our heads around all of this other stuff.  The transition from avoiding the scales completely to having to make myself not weigh every day is amazing. I wonder "if" we ever fully grasp all of the rules for living a new thinner life????
