What a differance a year makes

Hello everyone   
I wanted to post pics of before and after on this post, but didn't have the option.
I don't post anymore, after I didn't need the motivation as much. If I feel myself needing some info recipes or encouragement and especially make sure all the friends I have met are doing well I pop on here.
I am on  my way to Lehigh Valley tomorrow to bring my cousin for a free seminar. I hope it works out as wonderfully as it did for me.
I would be happy to answer any questions anyone had to ask.
I think I have a good handle on this!
And for those who are my friends Ill post some pics in my photos
Good luck to everyone
Thanks you for always being supportive and helpful in this forum!
I am down almost 100lbs and 20 lbs away from goal...thats my next step!
Take care

Lynn - Congrats on your first year of successing!!

I think that you'll find the opposite true, the further out you get you still need the encouragement if not MORE! it's much easier to be complacent the further out you get.

Good luck to your cousin with the seminar!

Liz, I couldn't agree more!
Thanks for the encouragement!

Lynn, I remember you! I am also a Lynn...with a Mc last name so your screen name always catches my eye.

A great recipe resource is "bariatric foodie" I don't have it marked on this computer but a google search will do the trick for you. This is a blog by a RNY patient in Maryland - she also does cooking classes and I got to attend one in York last year.

I am doing well 19 months out - lost 105 lbs. at my lowest, and now bouncing up about 5#, which is driving me nuts. Working on it in a big way!

Take care!

Oh thanks for that Lynn..I remember you as well. You were one of my first friends here!
I am glad to see you are doing so well too, I still check in to make sure all is ok. I just have been so busy.T
 Take care

Good to see you and congrats on your successes!!!!  

Please don't disappear from here completely.  I'm glad you are doing well, but like Liz said, sometimes as more time goes by we need MORE help.

I have off work tomorrow, but I'm going for an endoscopy, so I wouldn't be able to meet up with you otherwise I would have suggested lunch or something.  

Hope all continues to go well for you and much success to your cousin.

Thanks Lisa,
Coming from the woman who was my first visitor the day of my surgery!
How great you are!
I didn't go down until 7pm, was a great seminar and my surgeoun ran it, which was nice.
I think my cousin is on board, but is looking at the sleeve maybe. I have to research it......don't know anyone who had it, but Doctor seemed to really like the results he has had from it.
Hope all is well ....ttys Lynn

congratulations on your first of many years!!!!

Thank you so very much!
