Happy Valentines Day!!  Gosh, I cannot believe I have not updated my profile in so long.  I feel guilty actually because my life has taken so many positive turns since loosing weight.  I have neglected OH.  I log on almost daily still and lurk around on the message boards just reading the posts and looking at the Question and Answer section.  Of course, being a 5yr post op, I have seen and know the answers to most of the questions seen discussed.  Bad taste in the mouth, lump in the throat, low blood sugar, dizziness, cramps in the legs, purging, plastics, B12 anemia, etc.  Most of these get better with time.

I have put on a few pounds that I would like to get off.  I am at about 171 now.  Would like to see 160.  156 was a little too small and those extra 4 lbs really make a difference in my face.  My extra weight has come from grazing, mostly during Thanksgiving and Christmas 2006.  I will get it back off during the next few months when I start wearing shorts.  

I have had a few more surgery's since 2003.  Last August I had thigh surgery from a skin disease called Hidranenitis.  Of course Dr. Mitchell is the only plastics guy I will let touch me!  Then last December 2006, I had my ovaries and fallopian tubes removed (uterus removed in 99).  During the hysterectomy, it was discovered my bowel was "adhered" to my abdomen, posssibly from scar surgery from either RNY of my Bowel Resection that I had done in 2003.  It was a long recovery but am doing fine now.

One word of caution, I like to drink alcohol alot more now.  It seems easier to drink then eat.  I am working through this issue and making progress.  Don't want to go into a whole lot of detail on the internet.  Too many judgemental people out there.

With all that said, life is wonderful and I feel great.
