Topic: RE: How did we all do with our first Thanksgiving?
Mary Ellen,
It was GREAT to leave the Turkey Table and not feel like I was going to explode!! I ate 1,030 calories for the day which is alot for me. It is only the 3rd time I've gone over 1,000 calories in a day. I usually eat 750-900 calories a day. But I didn't have to clean up, I always get to go "rest" while my guys do the cleaning up & puting leftovers away.
I see my surgeon on Wed. and I can't wait for him to see my weight! When I saw him at my 8 month check-up he said I was already down to what he thought I'd lose in a year's time so I know he'll be happy that I'm below goal. I just hope he doesn't want me to stop losing yet. I really want to get down to lowest weight for my height (142) but I'll be thrilled with anything below 150. I haven't weighed 145-150 since my wedding in 1974!!!
At 10 months post-op, life is GREAT!!! I just hope I can keep it up for life!

Topic: RE: Vanessa's Diet Worked for me!
Please email me the diet as well. My email is [email protected]. I'm in my second month of plateau, and I definitely find that I'm starting to nibble--especially with all that Thanksgiving food in the house. I've only lost 85 lbs. since January 31, and I'd really love to get to 100 by my anniversary date.
Topic: RE: I'm "Normal"!
We all need to celebrate every milestone whatever they are. For me having a "normal BMI" was a total thrill. I am still hugh in the hip & thigh area and that makes it hard to sometimes see all of the different things that have happened to me this year.
Whatever goal you reach CELEBRATE it! We all are so much better off now than before.
Congrats on the BMI. Now set another goal. I have made mine at 10 lb intervals. My next goal is anything in the 120's.
HUGS
And Congrats
Mary

I did okay, but I told myself that I was going to eat what I wanted on that day, but only that day, and go right back to normal. Well I splurged for two days, and am back on track. I didn't gain or lose. I did lots of walking with shopping and all. And I was disappointed that I couldn't eat more cuz everything tasted sooo good. I just had bites of things, and that was it. I gave myself permission to indulge, and then I couldn't really do it. Hmmmm...
