Topic: RE: U of M sleeve surgery June 7
I had my sleeve done in Oct. with Dr. Leslie at Abbott - and although it was challenging the first couple of months (much more mental than physical for me), I am so grateful to have had this experience. I feel as if this is the way I was meant to be - not obsessed wth food or hunger every moment of every day. Losing slowly but steadily, and actually enjoying exercise and reconnecting with people. I feel healthier than I ever have, and my family has embraced health as well. While not always easy, I would not trade anything about this experience! Here's hoping all goes well for you as you begin this journey!

I'm not sure about maintenance yet, Julie. Still getting used to the idea. :-) I've been trying to lose weight my whole life, so changing my mind-set to maintenance is kind of weird.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on the subject! So far I'm just keeping on doing what I'm doing. It means I've kept on losing, but the "goal" weight was a completely artificial number, so I figure my body will balance out where it wants to be.
Those 20 lbs are going to come off faster than you think!! Great job!

My weight loss has slowed down a bit lately, so I need to get more active! My three month check-up is next week and I was hoping to be to onederland by then.

Topic: Monday and the start to getting back on track
Its been a while since I have been on here and its been a huge mistake taking this much time away. I have gained 15 pounds over the winter and by not coming here. Sotoday is the start of me getting back on track and making it work. I have learned a huge lesson about support systems and what I need to make it work for me. I wont let this happen again and I am starting now to take the steps to make myself healthier again..
I have missed my friends and cant wait to read some of the many stories I have missed.

Doing great Renae. I think you mentioned last week you hit your goal. CONGRATULATIONS! Just wondering what your plans for maintaining are. I still have 20 lbs to get there but just wanted to get an idea of what you r plains were.

Good for you, you look great!
Funny how when you feel better about yourself, the positives start to pile up. Attitude is everything, isn't it?

YAY YOU! I have to assume that feeling better about yourself translated into a more positive job interview, too - CONGRATS!
(Oh - and you look GREAT in your pic!)

I have not been doing well with exercising. I need to find a way to get motivated. Good news is that I got a job and should be starting soon. It's a physical job and it's hot in there so I can expect to get some "exercise" from it.
