Well....didja think I fell off the earth ?
So good to see your face again! I don't know if you remember me - I live in St. Marys - you sent me some pics of when you were a little girl here. I'm almost 9 months out now and in the beginning you were a huge help; in fact, I still drink your smoothie often. So sorry to hear that you had such a rough time but I'm very glad that you ar doing better. Take care and welcome back! Teri
Teri...of course I remember you...and I remember sending pics from St. Marys. When I'm traveling with my job, and I pass the St. Marys exit on I95, I am blown away by all the growth and progress. I've gotten off a couple of times and driven all the way down to the river, past the elementary school I went to.....brings back so many memories.
I still do the smoothies too...I love em...and they save me sometimes when I'm craving sweets. And so cool and refreshing in the summer.
I'm doing much better now...feeling fine....and eating well...too well...LOL
Thanks for the reply
Hi Charlie!! Wow, it's so good to see you back here! Glad to hear about Doug, too.
Didn't want to be nosy buy you wrote about your joy in meeting him and I'm glad
it's worked out for you both. I'm another old fart working on re-gain but so glad I
had the surgery - over 4 years ago. I'm not here much these days - hanging around
elsewhere mostly - but so good to see old faces!
Charlie,
I just got home from a short vacation and was so happy to see your post as I was catching up on e-mails and OH posts from while I was gone. I don't post very much--mostly a lurker--had my RNY back in Aug. 04--remember you very well--loved your posts! Sure am glad to "see" you again!
Like almost everyone on this Grads board, I'm dealing w/ some re-gained weight, 25 lbs. in my case. I honestly don't care if I get down to where I was, but I would badly like to get at least 15 of those lbs. off. I remember back in the day, I'd have given my right arm to have only 15-20 lbs. to lose--in fact, I wanted to slap women who moaned & groaned about what I considered to be such a trivial amount--and now here I am feeling like those lbs. are SUCH a big hurdle!!
I do still exercise--at a fitness center--as well as walking outside & bike riding w/ a couple friends--so at least I have that going for me. But the bad carbs are totally out of control, and now that I am home from vacation, I am going to re-commit to getting that crap out of my system.
Thanks for dropping in!
Always,
Jo
