Sorry for your loss. I had my surgery oct 1 03 as well. I have lost 80 pounds so far. My bmi is 31.2 and I am close to just being overweight and not obese. If you turn to food for comfort stick to protien and low carb veggies, they wont hurt you.

Hi Tanya, Congrats on the weight loss and I have not worked out much myself, but I have really been watching what and when I eat. I also now when I know I have eaten enough I just throw the food away or put salt in it or water, because sometimes those old habbits come back of eating when you know you are threw, so I just get rid of it so I do not nibble on it.

Hi Rikka and welcome to the board. I too just recently found this board. You are doing Super, congrats to you My weight loss is slow but steady I am ok with it at times and then other times I am dissappointed, but I keep reminding myself that I would have never loss this weight without surgery.

Hi Toni... I can relate, my hunger has come back and I find I crave the sweets. I am trying to keep the protein high since whenever I have a carbohydrate I seem to be even more hungry. Congragulations on the weight loss.... I am down 52 pounds in 4 1/2 months, a little slow , but its 52 pounds less than I was 4 months ago. Keep up the great work!
