Good Day!   I hope your surgery went well.NOw onto the journey of losing and maintaining!  I am 4.5 yrs post RNY and am maintaining......I also had an abdominoplasty 3.5 yrs ago....that was the best thing besides the RNY that I have ever done for myself!  although I am not on here often I do check from time to time.    if you are interested in "chatting" re: your weight loss journey I am certainly willing to do that!  If its sarcasm you want, I can dish that out too!    Have a great day and Good Luck!

Hello pixieRN,

I can relate of sort.  I stopped losing at 78 lbs after surgery in '06...personal issues, divorce and 7 years later I've gained over 30 lbs back.  I drink, also but I've cut back dramatically but still...drink.  You're not alone.

Topic: RE: Wanted: Pen Pal
Hi, I'd love a Pen Pal. I laughed out loud when I read that you can't help the "poor me" I'm far from that! I also live in Canada. Cambridge Ontario to be exact. Long story but I'm still in hospital, almost didn't make it. My two day stay has turned to 5 and still counting. I'll gladly share the tale, and when I get home I'll be well on my way to my goal. I've jumped hurrdle after hurdle and a four year struggle but I finally made it! The new me, and I know I'll probably stumble but I'm a fighter and WILL NOT give up! Email me at. [email protected]. And we can communicate that way or via text whichever you prefer.
Time for my walk, hope to hear from you soon
All the Best

I would be willing to be supportive, although I live in Canada and the process is much different than it is in the USA...so I am not sure where you reside, but I am 4 yrs post-op...and would love to help you out anyway that I can..one thing you need to know, is that although I am compassionate and I realize the first few months after surgery are difficult.I don;t do well with me that play the "oh poor woeful me" card on a contsant basis.

 

I didn't get where I am in this almost 6 yr journey, by being a slacker...not saying that I don't on occasion slip off the "wagon"..but I get back on and realize that my surgeon gave me a chance at a "better life" and I owe it to him not to have wasted his talents on me!

 

So if that above doesn't make you run, you are welcome to send me a PM..please note that I am not on teh site everyday..but will get back to you~!
