I was in ANW and starting a new chapter with a RNY.

I have lost 150 lbs and pretty much kept it off. So in all that, what have I learned?

1. This will not solve all your problems. In some cases, it will magnify them.

2. The foods that I once loved now have little interest for me. It seems that relearning to eat meant that I had to truly pay attention to the crap that I was shoveling in my mouth.

3. My friends are my friends no matter what.

I am still here and still paying attention.

Wow - 4 years, eh? THANK YOU for sharing your thoughts with us!

I would personally LOVE to have you share more - being a guy, being further out and successfully maintaining your loss, it seems you might have a lot to say that a lot of us would benefit from hearing!

Either way, CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Imperfect does not = unsuccessful

Hey Fred good to hear from you! I had my 4 year this past July. Amazing how fast time flies huh. Good to hear from you! I have been missing the days of "Renewal" lately. That was my godsend at the beginning.

Take Care!

Congratulations on 4 successful years.

Blessed are those who can give without remembering
And take without forgetting.
