Hello Ula-Welcome to TT! You must be very busy between school and three kids. Good for you for tackling WLS and doing something for yourself. This is a great place to come for support so check in whenever you can. We can offer fun, foolishness, friendship and even some useful information! best-

My pleasure, Ula. You've had a great weight loss! Congratulations! I hope you are proud of yourself.

Thank you for the kind words. I'm proud of my accomplishments.

In regards to getting used to eating? It took me about 6-7 months for eating to become less of a chore. I didn't get my hunger back though until I was a year out.

It's been kind of a rough year for me and I haven't felt as good as I have in the past but I don't regret the decision at all. Even with the medical problems I've had this year I'm still far healthier than I ever was before surgery. I'm just grateful for the surgery and every additional day it has given me. Right now I'm struggling with a lot of nausea but I have a wonderful surgeon and he is determined to figure out what is going on. Don't let the fact that I have had complications scare you though. Just be aware of the fact that you have to listen to your body and if things don't seem right get the help that you need. You're worth it!

Sorry i don't log in often. I am a student. Studying (Pharmacy) Its hell right now, but I know it will be worth it in the end.

Well I had surgery 02/26/09. I have lost 78lbs as of today and I feel really good. I am 29 years old and was 298lbs. I am a mother of three school aged kids. Recently divorced, but loving life and I am looking forward to change. Loving me again!

Hi Ula, I just wanted to thank you for your friendship request. So tell me a little about yourself? Have you had surgery? How are things going? I look forward to the opportunity to get to know you better.

5 months out. Wow! what a change. I feel better. Walking is now my thing.
