Sorry all. I always forget to look to see how old a post is before I respond. Have done that several times on here. I'll try to do better! Apologies.

Hello, Everyone. Letrell here. I haven't been posting on here in a long time...part very busy, part just reading, and part because I became lazy. I have always been one that would read a post; when someone whines I would say knock it off (in so many words). We are responsible for our...

I hope this link works. I decided to contribute per Robin Meade's TV invitation...

Hey everyone. I'm back..kinda. So very sorry I am not on here very often. Since we moved to Oregon, life is moving soooo fast. (If you can believe going from southern cal to the oregon outback could be "moving"...LOL). Kids are all tweens and teens and sports and traveling and working full...

Here's one for ya. A first for me. LOL. I read on here somewhere months ago that someone had an issue with too much liquid and it just came back up. Well I just couldn't picture that at all. I was thinking...well my pouch is too small to heave, how could it come back up. OMG LOL..I'm...

How do I add a picture to my posts? So people can see what I look like? You know, by my name on the left column where it says stuff about us. Thanks, ever so. Letrell

I'm a freak, I know. My favorite pasttime is working on family history/genealogy. I have been working on a certification for 4 years, just don't have the time to finish the studying and take the dang tests. My first priority is my own family history. I have us back to the year 165AD on one...

Opening up with deep feelings is difficult for me...emotions equal weakness in my world. So I am really stepping out on dangerous ice bringing this up... My feelings on the past 3 years of my life. I had to have the surgery...no real option for me other than a 5 year life-expectancy. I...

Well..here's one. I was talking to feastorfamine the other day and we were laughing so hard I was in tears. Not sure you could even hear what I was saying, Pat, but it was fun. Thanks I needed it. Here's the story.... I'm living in this new town now. Cut off from the world. We have one...

Hey Linda...I'm responding to your message on another board. Since it didn't really have to do with that topic, I figured you would see it better here...Your post: "I had surgery on 01/19/12. I have a left side discomfort. I also can`t seem to get fulfilled on the food I am allowed to have...

I'm laying back here on the couch, chillin', reading the site....about an hour ago I had about a 1" x 1.5" piece of from scratch red velvet cake (I bake, if ya can believe it) with homemade chocolate fondant. Now that in itself is not so funny. It hurt for about 30 minutes. Was it worth it...

I hear alot of pre-op'ers and of late post-op'ers suggesting consumption of the slim fast and drinks like that. In the initial paperwork I received upon release from the hospital it was highlighted to NOT drink slim fast. I can't remember why. But I pulled out the paperwork and reread it to make...

I use the word 'intake'; 'diet' is no longer in my vocabulary, LOL. It gives me the willies to even bring up a diet. So...here goes... MORNING SUPPLEMENTS with about 1/4 c water or orange juice (fresh squeezed): C, B1, B, Iron, Prenatal, Calcium, Prilosec. On Fridays I add one B12...

Talking about plastic surgery is a toughie for me. I'm still going through it all and although the results so far have been wonderful, the process is hell. In Feb (2011) I had my first plastic surgery. It was an Endoscopic Brow Lift. Prerequisite for my eye lift (June 2011). I had a...

I'll see if I can figure out how to post here. I think I have before and after in my profile,but here goes..... Current:

A little about me and why I'm here... I just turned 54. Had RNY June 9, 2009. Depending on the day I weigh myself, I've lost between 187 and 193 lbs give or take a pound. I've been labeled "our greatest success" at the Naval Medical Center where the surgery was performed. As anyone who...
