It's hard for me to believe that it's been 4 years since my RNY.  I started out at 203, my low was 106 and I have settled at 118-119. Occasionally I hit 120 but it's usually after a day of salty foods or bloating from carbs.  I wear size 4 pants  and usually size Petite M or Womens S tops (down from 20-22's)

It's been a pretty easy road for me.  I had a little Depression for a few weeks but that soon past. Other than having my gall bladder out I haven't been sick more than a few days.  

My tool is still working and reminds me when I need to stop.  I still get food stuck when I don't chew and get the hiccups when I have taken a bite to much.  Dumping is still a reality for me and although it is an inconvience It keeps me in check.

I look back at pictures and I can see what others saw when I got to my low.  I looked pretty sickly. I still regret starting maintenance at that point because I wish I would have let my body stop on it's own.  I only had 3 pounds to go to reach 100 pounds lost....I'm jealous of those gold apples...LOL  I feel really good at my current weight but still dream of 115.  I'm hoping since DD and family moved out I might get closer to it without so much junk food in the house.

Posting on OH LW's has been my only Support Group and I am so thankful for all of the love, caring, and knowledge I have gotten from all of the LW's.

You are way to nice....didn't you notice all of the wrinkles?  I'm always trying to figure out how many years I am.  Two of my Grandbabies are 4 and I had my surgery when they were about 6 months old so that helps.

I didn't notice until I put the pictures next to each other. It's pretty noticeable in his face.  I think he has lost about 6 more since the recent  picture was taken.
