First time here.................
Welcome!
Uh, no . . . you're definitely not "Hoss"! You're doing great! If you notice the stats in my signature area, you'll see that I am a "struggling grad," but I am also a very grateful grad that I'm not where I was 4 yrs. ago. I have been back "on the wagon" for exactly one week and am already feeling MUCH better since I'm eating good, basic food; drinking my Crystal Light & water; exercising; and journaling my food intake (www.thedailyplate.com).
Hope you like hanging around here!

Thank you all so much for the kind words! I have a mother who still insists on shoving food down my throat! I think she has forgotten my pain in SMO state. Tonight she brought me "dinner" lol, 3 pieces of meatloaf, green beans, potatoes and a piece of cornbread! As it goes it was enough for 6 meals for me now, so I divided it up and put it in containers in the fridge. At Christmas she brought me FUDGE, HELLO! So when she left it went straight in the garbage!
I went to Wal Mart tonight bought a ton of stuff for my now eating 13 year old son and got me some popsicles and 9 things of oikos yogurt.

Hi, Amy. I am used to seeing you on the RNY board. Welcome. I'm a lurker and occasional poster on both forums as I hang out mostly in the TN area. Lately though I've been hanging out more here and rny boards.
At first, I was like "what does she mean by hoss?" And then it hit me, you meant your weight! Girl you aint no hoss! Look at those skinny bones I see poking through aka collarbones. I bet you look great, feel great, so don't you worry how much you weigh compared to anyone else! OK?
Hi AmyBeth,
Welcome! I am a frequent reader and occasional poster on this forum. I am approaching three years post op. I am 5'4" (almost) and weigh dead on 160. The charts say my BMI is normal at 145 but hello! getting to that seems like a fantasy. Your weight is your weight. I keep focusing on my health now and know the number on the scale will keep me true to my wellbeing.
One thing I wanted to share. I hung at 170-175 for nearly a year. I lost 80-85 pounds in ten months and stayed there for about a year. After my second anniversary of WLS, I dropped another 15 pounds without changing anything. I doubt you are finished yet either.
Keep taking care of you! That is your number one job.
Welcome!
