So glad you are alright. When I saw you weren't posting I thought you or your husband might be ill. It was unusual not to see your posts.
I have been on Weigh****chers for a few months, but I really can't afford $45 a month for meetings. Seems like every meeting has one or two members that talk, talk, talk. Then there are the ones that talk to each other making it difficult to hear. I tried the online WWs for $19.95 but again I don't want to spend the money. I'd rather use the money for my hobbies. OH is free!!
The new WW program is very good and pretty much how I should have been eating since 2008. The only exception is fruit doesn't have to be counted so they encourage you eat a lot of fruits and veggies. I can't eat a lot of fruit even though it's healthy. Too much natural sugar in some fruits for me. Raw veggies don't digest very well. Being on WWs did get me on track making good choices and I was so happy to rid myself of those extra pounds.
The dietician that was working for my surgeon now has a bariatric website called foodcoach.me. I'm following her now too. It's free for some of the info but there is a $12 charge per month for access to the complete website. I think it's very good.
I'm really enjoying retirement. I work on quilts a lot and read a lot. Love being able to read for hours.
Hope we can get more people participating. Makes it more interesting.

I take Proferrin ES, which is heme iron, so it is more absorbable and has fewer side effects (e.g. constipation, nausea). I buy it from the company's Website or else you can purchase it on Amazon.
Many use the iron patch from Patch MD. I have ordered them but haven't started them yet. I also take oral iron Proferrin.

I just got a message from JB so I thought I'd check in. This site used to be the BOMB! Lots of posters back then but it got to be depressing seeing my picture on 90% of the posts. I'm always available if you want to send me a message!!! I still care about my LW's!!!!!

I used to post here regularly but haven't been here for a long time. I am surprised that Roz has not been posting for quite some time. I sent her a PM but not sure she will remember me. I admired her dedication to her WLS.
My RNY was July 8, 2008. Can't believe it's been almost 10 years. Best thing I ever did although I've fallen off the wagon many times. I maintained a 70 lb. loss for several years then I retired in 2012. I worked for a temp service off and on and in 2016 took a temp to hire job. The job was really boring but I needed the money and fortunately I had great co-workers. I retired from that job last December and don't plan to go back to work.
I'm 3 lbs. from my weight I was in 2009. Feels good to get back in my dress slacks. I'd like to lose another 20-25 lbs.
I live in Grain Valley, MO, married to Max, have 2 adult sons, 2 dogs and a cat. I love quilting and reading. Also like to cook.

I am wondering what brand of iron supplements everyone is using.
Just three short weeks. I am eating low carb high protein , working out, feeling good. I went to a rummage sale on the weekend and purchased smaller clothes. Can't wait to be healthier!
