Topic: Today is my 10 month surgiversary
Well today was the day...I weighed in at the gym for my monthly assessment. My weight the day of surgery was 257.5 and tonight I was 164...a loss of 93.5 lbs. I won't complain. I had been losing 10 a month but I hit a stall recently and only within the past week have things been moving again.
I have 14 lbs to Dr goal, 24 to my goal, and 5 lbs to normal BMI. I just hope I can hit goal for my year appt...it's before my WLS anniversary and I was joking them they cheated me out of a week of losing.
The important part is that I feel great (sore from the gym, but great) I look great (I am told, I don't see it yet) and my family has me back...not a lazy obese lump who was miserable before.

Hey there Tonya!
You know what....I'm soooo happy that you could relate. I've been open about my journey because if I can help just one other person...then it's all worth it to me. We started around the same weight so I think we are on identical tracks. You're right...we will make it. It's not a race but a journey. 
Thanks for responding...you made me smile today!

I found the LC Cafe Classics, they're not as large as some of the other LC products and alot of them have no pasta/rice etc.... and usually I eat the whole thing...
every time I start worrying about how much I'm eating I go to Fitday.com and enter it all in...... it always turns out that I'm worrying about much of nothing! 
Topic: RE: Vitamin question??? kind of long...
Hi Leann,
We are so excited we just want our baby home! It is going to be the LOOONGEST 3 months. It is hard to stay focus on my activities because I think of Ella. I am getting into the swing of things again but it is difficult.
On my body image.. I think for so long I was overweight I felt terrible and now since my weight is gone I feel awesome. I know I look better and feel better it just shows. I think everyone needs to come to the realization we will never be perfect (like a model) I am still rolly polly but I am happy. I was a size 24 now a 12. I wished for a 14 so I am very happy. I could have NOT done this without surgery i tried for years.
Hope I helped.

You ARE beautiful I hope you will see it!!!

I think most of us are going through the same thing right now. I was a size 22 and now i'm in a size 8/10. I still want to loose another 20 pounds to be at my goal. I feel that I can eat so much more now and that really scares me. My the last month I keep going up and down in pounds. It's only between 2 or 3 pounds but it drives me crazy. When I see me go up I freak and start looking at what I eat, then I go back down. I am glad I have gotten to where I am now but the thought of me gaining weight again drives me crazy. I need to start intaking more protien. I know I need it. Also I should be taking my vitamins cause I'm really bad with that also. But I know everything will be o.k. we just have to keep our minds on it. I was never a person to eat sweets and now for some reason I want them all the time. What is up with that... But I am watching that and trying to stay away.. Well best of luck to you all and keep us posted..
XOXOXOXOXO

I guess it doesn't seem like I eat to much by your calculations of cups and half cups I also like lean cuisines. can you eat the whole thing? I wasn't able to before but now I think I can no problem. I haven't had one in awhile. That was going to be my supper tonight. I'm the same as you I don't think I get in that many caleries in what I eat either. thanks for the reply.

I had my surgery on nov. 15 2005. I went from a tight 24w to 12/14 too. but just in the past 2 weeks I feel like I could eat a horse or at least all the time and things I was not able to eat before like bread. I could not eat bread very well without it feeling like it was sitting there all day. But now i can eat it no problem. So I have vowed to stay away from the bread. and do more protien. I do eat alot of cheese too. I guess the things I pick to eat are not bad for me just more than usuall. I also have my monthly so that can be part of it too. I don't know all I know is I'm gonna watch it thats for sure.
take care Betty
