Step away from the soda.

Topic: One year post op checkup
Yesterday I went for my year post op check...albiet a month late.
My surgeon is so pleased with my results he called me his poster child for weight loss!
My labs came back excellent, the only thing I'm a little below norm on is Vitamin D. So he has me taking it 1x week for 8 weeks and then 1x a month thereafter.
Oh yea...he took me off the HBP meds I've been on since I was 22! That's 22 years of taking blood pressure meds.
I have been maintaining @146 a 100 lb loss, for 4 months. He said very few of his patients do this before 18 months post. My personal goal was for 135--I only picked this number because my older sister weigh's 135 @ 5'5"...but I wear a smaller size than she does...Yippee Skippee
I love my RNY and couldn't have gotten here without all of your support.
Hugs,
Jen
Topic: healthy snacks
hey everyone.....I know I havent been posting AT ALL, but Ive just been busy and maybe slightly avoiding this board because I have been being BAD!! 
I have been snacking snacking snacking on EVERYTHING!! It wouldnt be such a problem if it wasnt things like french fries and chips!! I was even drinking diet SODA !!
I have even gained a couple of pounds recently and havent lost any in like 2 or more months!
I am pretty much at my "goal" but I would love to loose about 15 more pounds........before I get cosmetic surgery in the fall......
I started my protein shakes again and Ive been drinking nothing bu****er during the day and just eating a "good" dinner.
I really need some good ideas for simple snacks I should and could be eating.......

Topic: RE: exercise or surgery to loose excess?
Exercise will build muscle, which will give you definition under the loose skin and residual fat. It will not tighten skin.
However, the skin will tighten some over the next year or so if you maintain your weight. You may want to see how much better it gets on its own. It may be enough, or you may still need surgery.
A personal trainer is a great idea, though. It'll help you build muscle for that definition.
Topic: RE: I NEED A SWIFT KICK!!!
OK so you already kicked yourself..That is worse than any of us can do.
Besides...you have done the most important thing....you recognized what you have done.
When I get off track, I go back to the very basics. I start at stage 3 foods, Drink more protein shakes, eat soft/slider foods for 2 days, then I progress to stage 4 eating protein rich foods. Nighttime has always been hard for me. I like to snack at night.
So sometimes I go up to bed take a big drink with me and will not come back downstairs. If I really need something from downstairs I avoid the kitchen.
About a month ago I had to go to NJ for a trial...my daughter had been molested when she was 10. Our hotel pu****er, cookies and an apple in our room each day. I ate the cookies and the water, then hit the treadmill. A couple of nights I even went in the pool and hot tub. Stress can suck the life from you. It's how you recover from it that is important.
Love you,
Jen
