Congrats Frisco! Next week will be 4.5 yrs for me and couldn't be happier with my choice of surgery- it did exactly what it promised, no more/no less.. and lets me live a healthy and very normal life!
You certainly have stayed present and helped many, while many of us who had surgery years ago (me included ) backed away from the boards for our own reasons.. but your contributions have helped many :) So long as it helps you, and others- keep it up!
Great to see you Jo !!!
I'm not here near as often and my participation is limited and I get why people eventually back away.
I guess part of my recovery has to do with staying connected.
You should chime in more often, I always respected your views even when it would differ from mine as experience and thought is always there and makes me think.

Frisco, your post is now in my permanent files to be reread often. I've been paying careful attention to posts from the "long-timers," because, as you said, keeping the weight off is the big thing, not the losing. Love the photos of you living your life.

Wow, thanks everyone !
It means a lot as I often wonder what I'm still doing here.
When I read posts like these it makes it all worth it !!!
Although I am here a lot less, I do still maintain a limited presence just to stay connected as part of my own recovery. Making a positive influence on someone elses efforts is very rewarding and part of my foundation and validates that I'm doing more things right than wrong.
Keep the path !!!!

Thanks Tracy,
I always try and read your posts. You have a great "educator" delivery..... me, not so much.

HEY FRISCO, thanks so much for this great post but more importantly thanks for all your posts and support over the years. I am just a couple of months behind you and in those early days I read every word you wrote over and over and was so inspired and encouraged by your success. I stumbled on Dr. C by accident but quickly figured out he was the real deal - in part by reading your posts and others like you.
I refer so many people to Cafe Frisco - people who have not had wls - because its so right on for healthy low cal eating.
Please don't fade away from OH. you are a GIANT in this domain. LOL bad fat joke. Diane
