Hi everyone, so it's been a long time since I've logged on. It's now a little over three years since my surgery!

Ok, I ranted a little about my stinky poo lol, but I feel great. I'm super glad my mind is not constantly on hunger,food and weight. I can actually hear my real thoughts now! My mind is free!
