Hi Lois,
I have had the best intentions of posting and replying ect. I have been lax myself. I can not promise consistancy. I have a "medicaly" challenged family..which often takes me away from the board. I do miss this board though. It helps keep me centered. So, I will try here and there to respond.

Topic: RE: Hello
Thank you for replying. I saw pictures of you on your profile, and you look amazing. Funny, I think about food today more than before the surgery. Since we can only eat so much, we must pick wisely. I heard some people eat sweets because they feel depressed. I ate it and still eat it time to time because it TASTE GOOD! You mention your husband is obese and surgery is not for him. For many of us it was not what we wanted either. It was our last hope to find a tool to help us lose weight. I wish him luck in that battle. If he can lose it without the surgery that is great, but if he can't he might have no choice but to have it done. Good luck on hectic schedule and God bless you and your family.
Topic: RE: Hello
Hi Louis, I loved your post about "old habits." I shared it with my husband. He is obese, but he has chosen not to have WLS. It is not for him, although he is very, very happy with my success. He has some success (periodically) from the Adkins Diet, but he always comes off of the diet and quickly goes back to his old eating habits.
I wonder how many of us who had surgery in August 2004 have resumed old eating habits? I still struggle with sweets and the "clean plate" syndrome. However, I am working on those things, and I am very thankful that my pouch only allows me to eat small amounts at a sitting.
I still continue to lose, but at a much slower rate now. I have NOT met my goal weight of 160 yet, but I want to very much. Maybe by the summer I will have lost the last 20 pounds, but it is very frustrating for me. I still love food so much!
However, now that I am wearing the same size I wore in college, I am happy. My family is happy and I have lots of energy to keep up with my hectic schedule of work, mother of two elementary kids, new puppy, etc.....
I would love to hear how others are doing. Thanks for your post. Good luck to you----and let us know when you get some pictures on your profile, OK?

Topic: Hello
I have noticed the August 2004 Surgery Date Message Board has been slow. I also know that it has been over a year since our surgerys. We are all feeling and looking great. We also have lots of energy to do many thing we couldn't do before surgery. Time is many times our enemy. I am calling out all the people that read this message board to get involved and give your inputs. Maybe post a question or any interesting topic you would like to discuss. I know you might say where was I in 2005? I would like to say that I have read many of your messages and have learned so much. I have posted messages or replied on an off and on basis. My goal this year is not just read, but also reply more often. I will start by saying I am Louis Henandez, and I live in Orange County, California. My weight before surgery was 335 Lbs. and my actual weight is 150 Lbs. My next step will be to make a real profile and add a picture to that name. In no way do I want to push people to post or reply. This is just for the people that read the August 2004 message board and would like to get involved. May God bless and hope to read, reply, and post from you. Thank You.
