Topic: RE: Game if you want to play
It is wonderful that we all look at the health first. Being able to move and enjoy family and friends. It shows that we have taken control of life in a form. A pound gained or lost or a goal met or not are just a fact of life. Yet as long as we keep trucking to those goals we are still taking control.
Hugs to all

This is easy, Hard at times. I did this with a friend
Name 5 things you are happy with from the time of surgery?
Name 5 things you don't like or didn't like?
Would you do it again?
Terri
Ok I will go first.
5 things I like
I love the new self esteem
looking for new clothes
being able to change food I love to foods I can still eat.
my health
being able to play with grand kids
and an extra one
being able to sit in a hard chair with out legs going numb.
5 things I don't like
the extra hang
I am not sure where the chest went but mia
having to explain to others that I am full
some of health issues (hernia ,ulcer )
they came out with pretty clothes in my old size.
Would I have surgery again?
You better believe it in a heart beat. It have been a life changing surgery. Makes me thankful every day.

Good Morning Trish,
I hope all goes good tomorrow you will be in my thoughts. I do also hope your sleeping pattern works it way through most of the time I have that problem and can't sleep in bed I have to much on my brain. So I do some mental relaxation. Not always helps but it lets me sleep some what better.
Please have a good day

Good Morning All.
Looks like there has not been any posts as of yet. I hope all enjoyed the weekend. It is sunny and hot already in Maine. I have really enjoyed seeing that you all are doing well, though some ups and downs we all survive. That is what friends are for support and to even remind us that it will get better. Have a wonderful day and enjoy the 4th

I know it has been a very long time. I sneak in and read, Yet do not post. I am so proud to be part of OH family. It is good to see people writing the good the bad and just life.
I have all of them the bad I have had 3 surgery's One for a ulcer in non working part of stomach and then started to bleed out so they went back in and removed the spleen. Kinda good part is I coded twice and still here. Then like many hernia repair. so easy.
I am 2.5 years out and have 11 lbs to go. Not sure when I will make it yet I know I will. Then charts will not say obese. I am now a size 11-12 so family say it is enough. From a size 28-30 I can understand how and even why they feel that way.
My daughter was just approved for RNY I am hoping that she goes through with it this time though she has to make that choice. Please keep Her in you thoughts.400+ it is time.
I will try to post from time yet with work, school and family not always easy.
Cyber hugs to you all. We walk this path together not only to have someone to talk to yet someone to support each other when those pest of rocks and boulders get in way.
