Topic: RE: Egg Salad
OHHH..I LOVE egg salad too...I think I will make some today. I guess the only advise I have it to limit it or make sure you eat it on a bed of lettuce and not bread. You look amazing by the way...

ps
As for me...I am still holding at a size 6. I fluctuate from 139-142lbs....depending on the time of the month and day...lol I would like to get down to about 130-135. I am not in a hurry though. I look at my size 22/24 cloths , that i still have, and can not remember what it was like to wear them. My issues now are my horrible sweet tooth, grazing and not exercising. I will conquer it though I am sure. I also have issues with swearing I do not look in person how small I look in pictures...lol

Hey girl! I can't believe its been almost two years. It flew by...I am still stuck at where I have been forever. I know why...just gotta change those habits again. Why did I start drinking again...thats a big downfall for me. I make very bad choices with food when I have been drinking. I will get there, I know it...just gotta get my butt back on track. I hope to see you this weekend!
Take care!

Topic: RE: Jenny Craig anyone?
I haven't tried a program like that post surgery but I have been eating Lean Cuisine meals for lunch. They are the best I've found including the Weigh****cher Smart Ones and Healthy Choice. LC actually tastes like real food. Best part - no dishes to clean up afterwards!! ha-ha-ha
Best of luck to you, keep us posted.

Topic: Egg Salad
I absolutly LOVE egg salad now but I'm not fond of all the calories and fat it contains. The protein however is great! Does anyone have a low cal & low fat recipe I could try?
Thanks!

Topic: RE: almost 2yrs
We're surgery anniversary buddies. Boy, what a ride! I'm still 5 pounds from my goal but am working on it. I had the extra tummy skin removed 5 weeks ago and am happy with the results. I can eat almost anything except pork chops. They just don't work. I have pretty much lost the desire for meat. I eat it only because I have to. Altho I do really like filet mignon! I've been dealing with some emotional issues about expectations and being "happy." I'm trying to be "happy" with all the things I have now, not what might make me happy in the future. I think I'm making progress. But it's slow. They can fix our tummies but it's up to us to fix our minds.
Topic: This Time 2 Years Ago ..
Wow .. How many of you where getting ready for your surgery 2 years ago .. planning .. and preparing .. I know I was .. I can not believe that it has been this long .. it overwhelms me .
I miss everyone .. I wanted to always keep the board alive .. I think what happend is what where kept alive and just not a lot of time for it . I hang out on the VA Boards Daily .. as I do a lot of conferences .. and promotions for my support group .. I just wish there was some way for all of us to meet one day ..
I am maintaining my weight finally .. thank God .. I am at 125 .. for a total of 190 pounds gone . I still fight it though .. I am so scared sometimes of going back the way I was .. I made it to a size 3\4 .. and I do not like it .. it is way to small for me I think .
I love taking pictures now .. something that I did not like to do .. I have been going out a lot .. working a lot and just living and enjoying this new life .. but I still can not believe it has almost been 2 years .
Well here are some pics of me from the the past couple of months

Always.

Topic: RE: internal hernia,and adhesions
Hi,
Were you having pain? I am wondering if I have adhesions. I am 29 but had gallbladder and liver tumor prior to my GB. Lot's of activity in the gut even before GB. I have been having miserable muscle "pull pains especially under right rib cage for almost a year now. Have had every test known to man endoscopy, colonoscopy,gi studies, ct's, mri's etc. The one thing I do have is a 5mm gasto-gastric fistula, but I hear this "should" not be causing the pain. Periods are brutal every month (am on the pill due to rupturing ovarian cysts last Feb.) and it doesn't help. I am wondering if it is worth having a lap done to look around for endometriosis, adhesions, etc. It wasn't bad? Really? Thanks. Jaime form CT
Topic: almost 2yrs
Cannot believe that 2yrs have almost passed since surgery
I feel wonderful no major problems ( except excess shopping
in a size 4 jeans small to medium tops I have my 2year followup with dr boaro on March 1st so I will wait and get weighed there but at this point iam around 128-130 I eat pretty well although rice,meat,bread,are not for me so I don't even bother with them any more there are other things that I cannot eat but I am fine with that. I can eat other stuff that I enjoy, and I love my protein shake every day I have found some really good protein cookies from the vitamin shoppe..
Boy have my taste changed the only thing now is that I am thinking about having a face lift I have lost so much weight off my face I really need it to be perked up. So maybe this year I don't want to look 25 just refreshed then I will deal with the tummy tuck I am pretty lucky I don't have to much there nothing that clothes cannot hide I hope everyone is doing well from the May babies......... We are all poster girls and boys... maggie.
