New here....

Good morning! 

I am not new to OH, but am new to this forum.  I had my Gastric Bypass on October 10, 2006....my highest weight was 280 lbs...my surgery weight was 251....my current weight is 150-152.....my goal is 140-142.....although I seem to be stuck at my current weight as I have been there for at least the last 6 months!

I have read a few posts here and am very glad I happened to come across this board!  Funny how I didn't even realize it was here before now!!

I hope I can be some encouragement, as I know that every now and then I need it, too.....I work full-time so I may not be able to get on here a lot, but I will definitely be checking in every day to say hello....weekends are pretty tough for me to get online, but I will try my *******ooking forward to meeting lots of new people!!

Welcome! I know how you feel about being stuck at a certain weight. I was stuck firmly at 115lbs for a while. Then I had some medical problems and my doc (who didn't have any experience with WLS) changed my diet. I gained about 20lbs. My clothes still fit but they're tight. I've dropped six pounds in the last couple of weeks but it hasn't been easy. I'm still working at it. Bex

Hello Holly. Welcome. My daughter's name is Holly. Nice to meet you! I work full time too. But at work they MADE me step away from my desk at lunch. I have to go anywhere else. So I snack at my desk before lunch, leave to go to the grocery store or somewhere during lunch and snack when I get back. I guess I don't eat actual meals much. Bad, I know.  But they do let me go to the computer lab on my lunch break and that has turned out to be much better for me. I'm not eating in there and just have water with me so I can connect on OH and still be mindless but just drinking and not eating...LOL.  See ya!

Holly, Welcome.  I had my surgery in 04 so not new to OH but this forum.  There are some truly wonderful insiteful women on here.  I hope you find all the encouragement you need. Denise

Welcome to the board, and congratulations on your success!

Hi Holly, Welcome to the Grads Board!!!  I am not new to OH either, but I was creeping around, and found this board a couple of weeks ago. Everyone here is very nice.  By the way,  Congratulations!!!  You have done a great job!!!!  I am only 2 LBS away from my goal!!!!  My 1 year surgiversary is in 3 weeks, I will  probably reach my goal by that time.  I am like you I work full-time.  I am also always busy on the weekend, so I don't get on-line to much either.  I am an Office Manager so I am on OH everyday.  Well I pray for continued success on your journey.

Welcome to the board & good luck on completing your journey! 

Welcome Holly! This board has been such a help to me I am sure you will find it a good place to get info and support too.
