Topic: 5 1/2 years out
Hey everyone.  Just thought i would check in.  I've been under a huge amount of stress lately.  Working 4 jobs trying to pay off some debt.  Can't seem to be the 'happy" person i've always been. Have marriage issues pretty much brought on by myself.  On the up side, im 10 pds. never thought i'd be this low.  I've kept my exercise up.  Don't eat sugar.  Not too many breads as they don't go down well but i do drink usually twice a week.  hope everyone is doing well. michelle

I have lost 115#'s.  I had my surgery on January 20, 2004.

You still have the tool.  You know what you got to do.  Get back to walking and doing what you did before.  Try getting some of them acid reflux pills from the drug store.  Like prilosec or cheaper brand.

Joe, im sorry your having such a hard time.  Get back to the exercise if you can.  I think its the key.  Maybe a friend could walk with you.  Good luck.   michelle

OK so no one said this journey would be a bed of roses. Here I am almost 5 years out. The rocks are really in the road.  I was so happy for about 2 1/2 years At first I lost over 100 pbs was getting real small. I gve up a lot. Smoking, no beer, no 6 peanut butter jam samwiches. no red meat. I also was doing 1 mile a day. Now I only do a mile about 3 times a week. I have gained a lot of my wt back. I still do not smoke, eat red meat or pb and jam sws. I really fell down most days now. I really am haveing issues with my smoach but my pa just puts it off as gas reflux. Has not done any test. I wish I knew more about x revision

I know they said this would be no bed of roses but some days I just cry. And here I am almost 60 year old man. [email protected] since I don't log on this site often

Hey Lady!

I'm doing great! Where is everybody?? For the past 4yrs my weight has been really stable for the 1st time ever in my life!!! I normally stay in the +/- 5-10 pounds. And low and behold just when I was starting to brag about not gaining much weight in all this time, I just found out that I'm pregnant. So now I'm really scared. I'm praying that I can keep this weight under control.

Take Care,
Lavina

Topic: RE: Century mark FINALLY!!
I wasn't trying to lose the weight in the past year because it was too fast.Over another 100 lbs off due to family issues,marital issues and a whole lot of growing up and learning wisdom. Never too old to learn....I wanna keep on learning. The kid in me has just barely come out the shell. Now Connie has to. Fighting detours that are thrown at me. There's a kid in all of us til we pass on....fface it..!!
