That Sounds fine, Thanks so much for doing this Grouchetta. We all love you too. Take care.

I refrain from all violence, unless it involves my husband I like to give him a good swiff kick every now and then. It keeps him in line. lol Hugs... You just need to get back to basics for awhile. email me at [email protected] and I will see if I can help.

Okay-wow! I just read that post and the replies...a lot of those ladies are 3 plus years out and it scares me to have these issues now. Elisa..I know how you feel girl. I can give you the standard responses *go back to basics-GAWD this one bugs me for some reason..lol *buy the books "How Much Does Your Soul Weigh, and "Life is Hard, Food is Easy." I have them both and haven't touched them. *Drink your water, eat your protein first, exercise..." *Don't graaazzzzeeee..." But I know these things and you know these things.... I'll tell you I got down to 126 on a doctors scale, and now I am about 140....it sucks, it's scary and I hate it. The "tool" works though...if I "watch it" just a little I lose FAST, I gain fast and lose fast....hmmmmmmmmmmm anyway...you are not alone in this fight Elisa...and I think just knowing that makes these struggles easier to cope with. GG said that if we don't change how we think and feel about food and eating we are just buying time....that really stuck with me. Doing it...putting it in action is the hard part...like the other BB was talking about it is such a cycle...there are just so many ways to "eat around" our surgery..like what she was talking about with the "after I eat I wait for everything to process, then eat again." I have done this before and that's a sure ticket to weigh gain. We are one year old babies with this new tummy...we are learning and will continue to learn for the rest of our time on this planet. Hopefully we can learn to make it not such a focus. We have a lifetime of bad eating habits to change...we can't expect to change it overnight. Like any addiction it is something we will always have and always struggle with. We can do this! Others just like us have done it!

Cooonnnngratssss Marie!!! Elisa

LOL ...... and here I was feeling bad that I forgot to give you my weight..... I'm glad I'm not the only one who's fuddle brained at the moment. I hope everything is well with all of you! Gosh
