Your daughter's and my son's birthday are one day apart! You have a Pearl Harbor baby (that is when I was induced and was SUPPOSED to have him)...I have a John Lennon baby (not exactly a GOOD date to associate but what can you do?).
Love and hugs,
Me

Kudos on the great success, and for sharing the update on eating. I think we start to feel we're"fixed" but only as long as we remember the rules we agreed to live by before our surgery.
I too have gained- and said STOP! I joined a gym (a couch potato) and got a trainer. So I'm working on my core and back to basics. Now, working on the emotional eating and making progress. This is my life, and i'm happy - don't want to go back. My favorite thought has become
being thinner is better than this will taste.

I am freezing in Chicago but honestly enjoying it.
I have eaten like a pig. But so far the dmage is only one pound over last week.
It means I am at 189 and 4 from my goal of 185 which is costing me more than I exoected.
Love you all

Hello everyone! Sorry it has been a while I swear I think today I am going to be more active on the board or I read someones story and think when I have time I am going to post something. I never seem to have the time. I am Very Sorry for that. Here is some insite from my Doctor (you can take what you want from this).
1.) After the first year you should not be doing protien drinks.
Protien drinks will cause you to gain weight.
2.) Carbs caused you to gain and keep your weight on before surgery it will after your surgery.
Try to stay away from anything high in starch and carbs.
3.) Salads are not good for bypass patients, they have no nut. value. They are good if you have to fill you up but you do not want your pouch full and they will pass quickly.
4.) A person does not need more than 1200 cal. a day to live on. Becareful not to drink your cals. Becareful how you use your cals. and if you still want to loss weight 1000 cals a day will be ok.
5.) You should not be eating more than three times a day. There should be no snacking.
I know this works. I had my surgery 01-26-06 I weight 653lbs day of surgery at my lowest 149 and now 170. So something is working.

We welcomed our little miracle Dec. 7th. Brylee Noel was born weighing 6 pound 15 oz and 19 1/2 inches long. She is truly a blessing and even though we didnt plan on having more children, I cant imagine my life without her.
Congrats again,
Kristi
Im up +1 @ 201. Still want to drop about 16 pounds. I find I do well with my food intake Mon-Thur and then I really blow it on the weekend.
Today is going to be mostly protein. Shake, eggbeaters, grilled chicken and a salad.
Hope everyone has a great week,
Kristi
