Your LIfe; chime in and tell me how your wls journey is going
I have decided to be "in training" until the OH conference. No wine, and up my miles to 8 miles a day on Thurs Fri, and Sat. Oh Please let me bust this plateau, I so want to be at goal finally.
I am scared of regain and long term complications, so I am pretty vigilant with my regimen. It has become something I just do.
Thanks for asking! How are you doing with your journey?

My wls journey is going great except that I was in the hospital in June of 2011 & the begging of this month of Sept. due to a hernia that 'caused a blockage. Going to see my surgeon at the end of this month to set up a hernia repair & have my excess skin removed. I can't wait for that day to come. Other wise I am doing great on my wls journey. I am down 242.0 pounds and I weigh at 234.4 pounds right now. I had my vsg back in June of 2010. Looking forward to seeing the new thin me come out of this "butterfly" cocoon that I am in now. This surgery that I am going to have, I hope next month at some point, it would be a great birthday present for me. And from that point, I know I will really enjoy life.
Sorry to hear about your hernia and blockage. Good luck with your operation, and early Happy Birthday!

Between two really long colds 9 mos apart and foot surgery I have put back on 10 lbs. I have to get it back off so will be increasing my workouts and may even start jogging to help with it.
My body requires workouts daily or I gain. That darn Metabolic Syndrome really sucks. I wi**** would just go away.
Oh well, going to Spain in the spring so I really need to be in shape before then.
Have a great day all and I am sooooooooo looking forward to the chatroom being back up.
I had the DS and my two year surgiversary is this month. I have settled in at a pretty low weight for my height and age and I wear a size 4.
I am not into exercise. I do try to walk a little bit each day. I've never run a mile in my life and don't plan to start now.
I eat pretty low carb and pretty high protein.
So I would say I am doing great. I look forward to my third year post DS and what it will bring.
