I just wanted to share an experience I had today...

Hi Everyone,

I had RNY Jan. 8, 2009. I have lost all the weight my surgeon wanted me to lose except for one pound! But that is not the experience I want to share. I lost my ATM card (AGAIN!) last week. So when I went to the market this afternoon I had to write an old-fashioned check. When I presented my driver's license with the old photo of me weighing about 100 pounds more, the cashier did a double-take and said "Wow! You've lost a lot of weight." It was really and truly nice to have a stranger compliment me on my weight loss. :wink:

This is about ten years ago, I had lost over 100 lbs on phen phen. It worked well for me, but I lost the battle of keeping it off. When I was thinner, I wanted to buy some beer and they wanted to see id for proof of age. Well, I felt complimented because at the time I was 30. When I produced my driver's license, the cashier refused to sell to me because she just "knew" that pic could not possibly be me. I was angry at first, but then I realized I should just be thankful. I smiled all the way home even without my beer.

Now, I am back where I started. I will start again. This time with a tool to keep my weight off.

Congrats!!!! :frown:
