Has it really been 4 years already?

Hi Mary! (Read: Oh boy, Oh boy, it's Mary posting!)

You sound like your just a skinny little thing now!  How great.  I am envious of your no-gas status.  Do you have a long common channel, or do you do anything special?

Congrats on maintaining your weight loss for 4 years!  -Jenny 

Thanks! My common channel is 75cm. I've done a couple rounds of Flagyl (ok, fishzole) after my surgeries (antibodics) and I religiously use a good probiotic.

Well golly you're lucky!  which probiotic do you use (and how often)

Thanx, Jenny

First thing every morning - usually Primal Defense from Garden of Life, Align, or the super probiotic from GNC. I've occassionally thrown in others (like Pearls), but GoL and Align are my usuals.

Congratulations, Mary!  Thank you for being such an inspiration!

Thanks, Mary! Love this post! I envy your amazing DS success, it's the kind of DS success I'd hope to have.

Thanks - and good luck with your DS (you're gonna love it!)

Congrats, Mary! Nice to see you doing so well. Thanks for paying it forward!

Thanks, Nicolle! I wish I could be as diligent and present on the boards as I used to be - but i'm not :( But the least I can do is a progress post - the newbies deserve more, but I'm a slacker!

Congrats Mary, thanks for posting your 4 yr update!
