It's been a while. I miss the camaraderie that I had here at OH, and occasionally I get a bit nostalgic. I so, thought I'd pop on and say hey. I'm 2.5 years post op now, and maintaining the same weight since November 2016 (160 to 165). I'm feeling pretty good. Life has been stressful, work has been rough, but I persevere and never forget where I can from.

My hubby is scheduled for RNY on April 9th. I'm excited for him and it has been a push for me to start tracking again. Maybe I can lose this 5 pounds that I've been bouncing up and down.

Anyway, I wanted to say hey you all of you *****member me. Life is good, I am feeling great and still living the dream. I've always said that I think that the key for me is never to forget that I had surgery, and never try to act like a "normal person" again. I haven't, I'm still living the RNY life. Keeping my calories lower and carbs lower.

I hope you are all doing well, and that you are all feeling good about where you are. I think in the end, the way we feel about ourselves is the most important thing.

I am too! He was denied last summer, so we switched to insurance through my work and they approved him. I'm nervous that he'll have a hard time adjusting, but he's been so good and has lost nearly 30 pounds in the last 6 weeks on his own. Praying that he can stop with the insulin eventually.
