Grads-Year Out Survey ..

Great question. I'm 3 years out today. Lost 130, was at goal, have gained back 45 in the last 15 mos. Struggles, still addicted to sugar/chocolate, can and do eat everything and in large quantities, have never dumped. Wow moment, when I had to run to my car because I was very late to an appt, and could do it. T

Happy Anniversary Tina!!!!!!!!! Tracy B

Hi everyone. I've been lurking here since passing 1 yr postop. This is my 1st post on this board. How many years post op are you? - 14 months, 11/7/05 How much weight have you lost? - 145 lbs - current wt = 140 lb, 5'7", BMI 21.9 Your biggest struggle ... - getting into an exercise routine Your biggest wow moment ... - having my endocrinologist, with a big grin on his face, tell me we're going to try to switch to an oral diabetes drug instead of insulin after 19 YEARS on insulin! It was his idea to have RNY for my diabetes. Gotta love those size 8 jeans, too! Kathy

Just wanted to Welcome you Kathy!!!! Tracy B

How many years post op are you ? 3 years 4 months How much weight have you lost .. 147# Your biggest struggle .. I could easily regain if I didn't still exercise and control my carbs. You biggest wow moment .. There were a couple of people *****ally didn't recognize me. That was fun. Size 6 jeans (if they have an elastic waist).....that's awesome, never thought that would be possible. Good post, Natalie! Hugs, Connie

I am fairly new to this board as well. I will be 3 years post-op on 3/1/07. Have lost 170 pounds. Getting ready to have my last round of plastics on Monday and I am a bit of a basketcase today. I will just be glad to be finished with the reconstructive part of my journey. I have exercised regularly since my WLS and have been able to maintain my goal weight. But I have a serious weakness for those late evening snack attacks........hide those doritos even if they are baked !!!! Joann
