5 year surgiversity

Just stopping in to say "hi". Don't know where the time goes! Hi Gina! Hi if there is anyone else still here I know, and best of luck to all of you on your path to being healthier.

At 5 years out...I am doing good. Who was that obese woman who couldn't run and looks unhappy in picutures? I don't even remember that life. My health is generally good. I see my sisters continuing to be overweight and the toll it is taking on their bodies and health. I continue to take my vits, excerise, and in the last 6 months have started to be a vegetarian. Haven't done my labs yet for this year, that will be next month. I continue to live and learn and enjoy life most of the time. Losing weight, believe it or not, doesn't change all of your life problems.

Wish you all the best!

Oops! I forgot, I don't weigh very often, more focused on how my clothes fit and how I feel. I am around 135, which seems good for me.

congrats Deb..I'm right behind you... I am also tending towards a more vegetarian diet...certainly no more red meat...

my uncle who is 85 and healthy as a horse eats only fruit...vegetables...tofu and nuts...and protein shakes for protein...he has never felt or looked better...So I'm thinkin.....Best wishes to you...SEAVIEW

Happy surgiversary, babeeee!   Good to see you.  ; )

Happy surgiversary!  I've also started incorporating more fruits and veggies into my diet.  

Congrats!!! Great results! I gave up all meat but fish & shrimp in January and have that about 1 x per week. I have labs in 3 weeks. Will be interesting.

Happy Surgiversery!!!   Sounds like you have been a great success!!!

Wonderful.     Congrats. 

The first couple of years after surgery I used to say I was a carnivore. It was like I couldn't get enough meat. Needed red meat alot!! So many eating habits have changed. I eat beets, kale, chard, so many things I have never tried before. We will see how the lower protein intakes goes. Oh, I still do eat fish occasionally, usually if I go out. If anyone has been a vegetarian for several years I would love to know how you are doing!
