Happpyyy update, Elina....
Wow, haven't been here in ages. Glad to see some familiar faces. My maintenance support group leader posted about her anniversary on fb yesterday and it got me to thinking about my own (7/1/08- 6 yrs). Glad to see you are getting back on track Donna! I'm about 10-12 lbs from my lowest & it is so hard to get it off. Best of luck to ya!

... So nice to see you! There is a few oldies here! A lot of newbies learning the ropes. I have no fear, the regain will come off. Getting back to basics makes it a lot easier to focus on. Don't be a stranger! 6 years have flown by!

I love you peeps! But, you already knew that, I hope! Frisco, you're being a meaning!!!! LoL, no, actually I don't fear the -20 goal at all. After taking the 1st step and admitting I needed help and talking with Elina on the phone it made it real. Oh the goodies makes it even more exciting! Just like my birthday!
I think falling into bad habits and letting them keep rolling and not having a real person support group post op. The virtual OH has been a blessing. Being one of the first few sleevers at the hospital I was sleeved at we had instructions to follow, the RYN post op instructions. If that was what I had had it would of been perfect. I am a believer in eating food by weight. Not volume... 1 cringe when people say, well so and so says, I can have... Well, if I said go jump off a bridge, would you? I've also have under ate the sleeve. Until, I let the demon foods in. SLIDERS. But, never had the light bulb moment until Frisco pointed it with the pyloric valve and all. Happy that I had this place to fall back on, or my success may of not been as good. It's a forever commitment. The sleeve is the tool, and what we fuel it with will be our own destiny!
