old member that came back

I had surgery June 25 2007, was very slow loser, but I got down to 298 and never thought I get past it but I started to work again in Nov 2013 my weight started falling off, I am now 226 and I am so very happy.  If I can help anyone is to say it hard, it for the rest of your life, but the best choice you can make.  I have two wonderful grandbabies now, one is 2 and other is 3 weeks old, I can enjoy life with them.  I go to beach and not ashamed to walk in a bath suit, I swim, walk the beach, walk the board walk.  When my daughter was preg. with this child I walk miles with her.  I enjoy life so much.

It is easy after all is said and done to leave OH for a while or forever.  I know I did and I am trying my best to get back into the swing and start helping people like people did for me.  Congrats on the added weight loss.  Keep going girl.

I too left for a while.  My lap band failed (eroded and was removed) back in 2009, but I am on a new journey, headed for revision surgery here in about 45 days.  I relied on OH so much when I was involved before.  There are so many wonderful people on here, heading in the same direction, supporting each other!
