So glad to see you. It's been forever since you posted last. I am doing great enjoying my family and busy with school work and my kids.
Yes it is hard to maintain but this is an everyday struggle to keep the weight off. I had gained a few pounds but I nipped it in the bud quickly and I went back to my weight that I have posted on my signature. I am happy to report that I 3 1/2 years post op and still at 144 lbs. It's hard work but it is worth it to continue to use my tool.
As for not being around yes a lot of $h*t has happened on this board with certain people and I also decided to stay away some. I don't read every day but I occasionally come and post an affirmation for encouragement or respond to a post here and there. It is not a post that gets much attention but I really don't care. It is a post for whoever decides to read it and gets some encouragement by it. New or old members. I do it because I want to pay it forward. I don't have time for the childish games and betrayals. I have come to the conclusion that basically this is an open forum and you will meet people and make friendships. But you will never know who is who until the the mask is taken off. That, I learned from experience and I am truly hurt and disappointed. But I will survive like Gloria Gaynor sang it! LOL
Take care and don't give up on your journey and looking for encouragement.
I am sure you will get the support if you post.

I am who I am and accept my feelings wholeheartedly.

The day is finally drawing near! I'm so excited for you.
There isn't too much new for me. I had a short bit of drama due to my band being too tight. Had some saline taken out, back to normal, and trying to keep up with exercise and healthy eating. Just out there living and loving life.
Best Wishes for "birthing the alien!"

It's not how fast you go, but that you're moving in the right direction!

I think a walk would be the perfect fit for you today, considering your zumba workout last night. A nice walk in chilly weather always makes me feel refreshed. Now that there are some people on this morning, this is the time to get the board to where it belongs and become long term success buddies for one another. Welcome aboard!
