SEEKING NY SUPPORT!!!!!!!!!!!!

I AM BACK ON TRACK AFTER A YEAR AND A HALF OF FALLING OFF THE WAGON. IN THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF I HAVE MOVED INTO MY OWN APPARTMENT, JUST ABOUT FINALIZED MY LONG DIVORCE, HAVE BEEN STRUGGLING TO SURVIVE BOTH EMOTIONALLY AND FINANCIALLY DUE TO DIVORCE. I HAVE MET A VERY NICE COLUMBIEAN WOMAN AND I DO MY BEST TO KEEP AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE TO MY TWO SONS THAT LIVE WITH THEIR MOM. I GUESS YOU CAN SAY I HAVE HAD A DIFFICULT YEAR AND A HALF AND THEN SOME. THROUGH IT ALL I ONLY GAINED 8 LBS A YEAR OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS. I RECIENTLY STARTED BACK ON MY SHAKES SALADS AND EXERCISE AND I AM DOWN ABOUT 8 LBS IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS. I REALLY WOULD LIKE TO CONNECT WITH MY OLD FRIENDS FROM 2 YEARS AGO. ILYSSA, LISA,MISS MOZY, TAVIA, CHEESBURGER FELLA, AND MY FAVORITES FROM CHOOSE-TO- LOSE GROUP AS WELL. WHERE HAS EVERYONE GONE TO???

Sounds like you are *turning the corner*  with your divorse almost finalized, a new lady in your life, your sons and your RECOMMITTMENT to YOU.

I wish you SUCCESS!

hello Kenny ,

Congrats on getting back on track !!
I see you went to Dr. Kwan and there are a few people that have gone to him that are in our Support group in Orange County NY, We had one last night . First Thursday of every month is for pre and post op . Third Thurs is smaller post op only . Pastoral Counseling Center on Rt. 17k in Montgomery. Not religous thats just the name . No cost first thurs , nominal fee third thurs . Judy Lynch runs the class and she was the first person in the US to get the revision over the bypass. Great information and support !!!. Let me know if interested . Only  two guys in the class .

Thank you so much Britt! Your such a cutie!!!!!!!!

Sorry that you've had such a trying time, congrats though on getting back on track. Most of the old timers pop in or lurk from time to time, but this forum has kind of died in the last 6 months or so.

Good to hear from you Scott and thanks!

Kenny,
OMG how the hell are you? OK you said and that is just awesome that you are back on track and starting to get things going YOUR way!  Things have been crazy for me and I am just starting come back around myself! I am now 3 1/2 years out and have gained back 40 lbs! I was not even down to my own goal, just made it to the Dr's goal! 

Well I just wanted to say hello, keep up the great work!!!

~hugs~

Ok so now I feel much much better!  Hi Debra I am sooooooooooooooo happy to hear from you!
So we are both back on track, lets beat this thing shall we??

How have you been? I have missed you and the others!!!!

Kenny,
Yeah I plan on beating this thing! hehehe I want to know it is so hard to hold the bad habits while the good ones are short lived!  I guess the big thing is dealing with WHY we turn to the food for comfort.  Something I am STILL working on! I wish I would have taken others advice on dealing with that BEFORE the surgery. 

Well keep in touch hun
~Hugs~

There's always Dr. Kwon's support group as well.  Lots of support in the area.
