I'm Back on the Board!
Hey all,
I haven't been on OH for a year or so. I have been active in other areas and groups, but this community was so instrumental in my journey that I had to come back and renew my connection! Time to give back and pay forward for all the support and advice i was given. And also, honestly, ours is a journey without end. I have a lot to learn from our vets, and from you - so, here I am!
Quick update: I had my RNY in April 2015. I lost 137 pounds to reach my maintenance/lifetime weight in March 2016, a few days shy of my surgiversary. My husband and I have made some huge changes in the past 9 months - we sold our primary home in NY, downsized and moved to AZ. A big part of that move was to enable us to lead the active lifecycle that I had been building post surgery. And, we LOVE it! It just means I travel for my job - and I mean, travel every week. I've had to make some adjustments to my routine and I've made some mis-steps. Even so, I've done fairly well in maintaining that weight for the first year... but I'm about 4 # over my lifetime weight at present. I'm working (hard!!) to get back to where I am comfortable.
So anyway, that's a few highlights in a nutshell! Looking forward to being a contributing and learning member of the OH community again.
Cheers to all!
Christine
