Visiting with an update

Thanks Sue, you're so sweet! I remember you too. I'm looking forward to getting back on track. I started yesterday.....drank all my water for the first time in months!

I applaud you, Stacey!   Getting in your water is great start!

YOU CAN DO IT!!

HI I REMEMBER YOU !!!!!

You took the best first step.... being back here and surrounding yourself with WLS people!


Welcome back and dont go away again!!!

Hugs

Awww thanks. I'm planning on staying awhile!

Good for you coming back and posting to get & give support and encouragement.  Looking forward to getting to know you.

Thanks Kristy! Looking forward to getting to know you too. (I'm jealous.....Hawaii? You lucky girl!)

DH and I have never taken a vacation in the 12 years we've been together.   I figure with all the effort I'll be putting in with having WLS, it will be a very well deserved trip. 

well you've got my unqualified encouragement.  it is bizarre that we'd both be back at the same time.  and i DO NOT eat like a post wls patient anymore, either.  you're right.  the rules just didn't seem to matter for awhile. 
but i'm ready to kick it.  i remember when i had the surgery telling myself i would always have my tool, when i needed it.  so now's as good a time as any to start using it again. 
good luck, hun.  you've had a tough time of it, but deciding to work on it is a big part of the battle.
hugs

Thanks Dorthe! You're a great friend. Hopefully we can BOTH hop back on the bandwagon and beat this thing. I now realize that the weight/eating thing is a lifelong battle, no matter how successful we are at any given moment. Life gets in the way and thing do get difficult. Hugs!
