Hey Everyone,
I know long time no hear!! I'm sorry I haven't been on, things have been crazy...with my sister passing on and family issues....well anyway I'm still here.
I had to block my account for awhile, there was some crazy woman (who knows someone I know, not a stranger) was getting info on me off of this site so I blocked it for awhile, hope the craziness is gone.
Anyway, I am creeping up on my 3yr anniversary of my surgery!! And I would do it again in a heartbeat, for real!!  I have gone through alot of changes over the past three years, and I am now finally getting a grip on how to listen to my body and I am doing good.  I have given up diet mountain dew....was tearing my stomach up, plus helping dehydrate me.  But now I can again drink water, yippeee.  Anyway, over the summer I had gained about 10lbs back and it started freaking me out, but you know what, my tool is still with me and I was able to go back to basics and you know what, it came back off. I am sooo grateful. 
The only thing I wish that i could change is the amount of extra skin I have....my arms have toned up some, which I am glad for, it took time for my weight to settle and redistribute I guess. But my panni is all soft and squishy, I tuck it in my pants, if i didn't have that I know i would weigh alot less and probably could wear size 4 or 6 pants. Oh well, I can't take a chance on having another surgery because of my blood clotting issue, its not worth risking my life over some loose skin.  I had the wls because without it I would have died, so it was well worth the risk.
Okay, I've gotta go and I will update again later. I really want to put together some concise thoughts and feelings and really moving points from these past 3 yrs and then post them.
Thanks so much for being here everyone.
I will keep all of you in my prayers, everyone who is suffering from or ever suffered from an eating disorder.
LOVE YOU ALL!!
