Lisa,
I think a lot of folks are feeling the same way, so you are not alone. Unfortunately, it's very common to gain back about 10% of what you lose. I think the only way to avoid that is to stay ever-vigilant about keeping track of what you eat and continuing to exercise. (Or at least that's what my nut and surgeon say!) Early on, the surgery helps us lose quickly and relatively easily. At this point though, it's dedication and willpower that will keep you going. And given what you've already been able to accomplish, I'm sure you will continue to be successful in the long-term.
Happy birthday!

Topic: RE: Regulating Body Temperature
Oh, Kate, this is so true! The minute they wheeled me out of the operating room, I felt cold. I remember in the week following surgery, my feet just felt like ice, I would soak my feet in a warm tub of water, just to warm them up. Ever since, I'm always the one in the room who is cold; if everyone else complains it's warm, and I feel just right.
I don't know why it seemed to start with the WLS for me; I lost 40+ lbs prior to surgery but didn't feel cold. It started with surgery, for some reason, and I still am dealing with it.
My doctor checked my thyroid, and it's normal, so no excuse there. Anyway, you're not alone!

Lisa, same here! My scale is up about 2.5 lbs, and I know I have been snacking the past few days and that is the culprit. Yes, we do need to get back on track, which is why I'm here, reading posts, hoping to help myself get motivated. We can do this if we stay focused. I have to remind myself, this is for the rest of my life!
Hang in there, keep doing the things you know are right!

Lisa, I know how you are feeling. The past month I've been on a plateau, and have slowly let old habits creep back in. I was starting to feel frustrated and depressed wondering if I will keep this last 40-50 pounds. Then I realized what I was doing by snacking and not exercising...I was turning back to the old me. I don't want to go there....so I need to snap out of it.
Today I am back on track, I got in my protein and fluids and worked out tonight. I feel so much better already! I think every once in a while we need to kick ourselves in the hiney and take control. I also know that getting on the messageboards and participating and seeing all of you helps me out. I need to make an effort to keep in the loop!!
So...you are not alone! You can get back on track..we are all here for you...and I need you here for me....LOL
Happy Birthday tomorrow...have an amazing day!!

Thank you Keke for working so hard to do all of this. This past year I've stayed at the Luxor, Mandalay Bay, Excalibur,and Stratosphere. I'd say either the Luxor or Mandalay Bay. Excalibur wasn't horrible, just older. Stratosphere isn't good due to location IMHO. MGM is huge but I've stayed there in the past and thought it was good too.
That's my $0.02.
Just curious..is NY NY booked out already? Is that why they referred you elsewhere?

I haven't been doing that well losing the last few weeks. Seems like my old appetite is coming back. I'm still down 150lbs according to my scale but I think it is wrong and I actually weigh more as the scale at Curves says I do.
I'm afraid i'll gain some of the weight back and I don't want to. Has anyone else felt this way. I feel like i've failed or am going to
On a good note, Tomorrow 9-21 is my birthday #42. I will post a pic when I get one taken.
