Peeking in, to say 'HELLO'!

Greetings, my fellow BAF'ers! Haven't been here in SOOO long...but felt the need to stop by and say hello to everyone! Life continues to march on...lots of things going on, but one thing remains - I am a member of OBESITYHELP.COM! I will NEVER, EVER, say that I'll NEVER, EVER go 'back there' again (some of you all know what that means!)...have regained weight...and losing the regained weight is HARD...HARD...HARD! Time to put my OH hat back on - and come back to this site for SUPPORT and ENCOURAGEMENT...to get back to the 'basics'!

Hope everyone is enjoying their day today! Now, for the 'oldies' here...remember my granddaughter, Brooklyn? Well, she turns 9 this year...remember the announcement of her birth almost 9 years ago? Look how she has grown up! She and her siblings/cousins make me PROUD to be a grandma! 

 Wow someone I know who's given me much needed advise this is like a reunion to me heyyyy how

 It's so good to see an oldtimer

Hey Donna!  I don't know if you remember me but I sure remember you.  I'm 7+ years out now and I am not here often.  Today, I felt like this is where I needed to be.  I am working on using my tool to drop some regained weight; I stopped smoking 2 years ago and gained 25 pounds.  Now, I'm dropping them!!
Your granddaughter is beautiful!!!!!

Hi Donna!

Welcome aboard!  I lived in Chicago years ago.   I usually hang out on the DS (duodenal switch) board, as I had that surgery 3 1/2 years ago.  February 25th will be my 4 year surgiversary. 

I've lost 245 pounds,  the first 200 in my first year out, and maintain it almost effortlessly.  Even with the very rogorous supplement, nutrition and exercise components of my maintenance routine, it still seems effortless to me, given the alternative. 

I feel that no matter which WLS we have, we are all united on the common ground of morbid obesity, and on this board, by our African ancestry.

 

Hello Donna it looks like we all come back home from time to time for support.  I've gained about 15 pounds and it frightens me soooooooo much I know I needed to come back to OH for support, ideas and motivation. Just another day and same old ****z :)  With the holidays approaching I need to live on this site to maintain a little focus.  Hope all is well with you.  Yes back to basics is where I need to be also.  Peace & Blessings to you & yours

Hello Everyone!!! Talk about a home comings and B2B.. I am almost 6 years out and have regained some of my weight back.. Just popping in to say hello.
