I Want To Say Hi!!
Hey and welcome. You and I are about the same out. My surgery was in 06 and I'm still losing but at a slower pace. I still eat in a small plate, still use a teaspoon to eat with and still measure things. I never go back for seconds and if I still feel hungry after I eat, then I gulp water and it usually helps. I also walk like a fend. Someone said that we substitue one bad habit for another: some drink, some shop, some start smoking, or sex, or whatever, but I walk. My husband hates to shop with me because I get more enjoyment out of the fast walking through the store or mall and he is constantly telling me to slow down. YESTERDAY, I RAN. I know! It was a clumsy run, but I freaking ran. My goal for 09, to actually run a mile.
glad you found us all
this is a great board and we all support each other. im also 2.5 years out from surgery and i know what you mean about going up and down those 5 pounds. but to be honest, so does everyone in the world at large. its not letting those 5 pounds become 10 and more that is the constant challenge for wls patients.
but if you want a kick in the butt here goes KICK
anyway, post often, always happy to see new people here
hugs, be safe and well, jacki
