Hello Everyone, Just wanted to say a quick Hi to everyone. Life's been busy here, I'm working full time nights now as an ATT phone support rep......yeah fun :0)
I went to the dr today because I have been dizzy for a couple weeks & it's getting worse. I was diagnosised with Hypoglycemia & was referred to a specialist. So we'll see what happens from here.. Got me thinking I have been getting those shakey feelings for over a year now..betcha I've had it for awhile now..funny they just think about the finger ***** test now... Anyhoo Hope everyone is doing well!!

Hi Britt and everyone.  I haven't been here in months....everything is going extremely well for me.  I'm maintaining have been for months now.  It's a great feeling to finally be in control of me!

I'm weighing in today at 137 which is around normal, I fluctuate 135 - 140 and as long as I'm within that range I'm happy.

Unfortunately at the beginning of October I had a little set back, hernia repair surgery.  I had an internal hernia caused by the weightloss surgery.  It was repaired laproscopically and I'm good as new but not exercising fully again yet.  I was training my my license in yoga, and that had to be suspended for a short while. 

I hope all is good with everyone, I can't believe we are right around the corner from our two year surgiversaries!!  yippee

I have to say I was drooling a bit when you described all you could eat and still NOT gain *sigh*

Good Morning!

I had an okay week.  Had major back pain issues all week which made exercise pretty much impossible.  I finally had to break down and take a muscle relaxant...I hate taking them because they make me super slow and out of it for about 24 hours...BUT it really helped my back so I guess it was worth it. 

Yesterday I played football (well, catch really since it was only the three of us) with my bf and his son (12 years old).  I have never thrown a football in my life and I totally throw like a girl but it was a blast.   Never would have imagined I'd even want to try something like that and before weight loss I couldn't have even if I had wanted to.  It was a wow moment I never expected to have.

I am back to my morning workouts this morning but am going to take it a bit slower as I think that was a big cause of my back pain.  Found a lovely 20 minute yoga dvd and started slowly working my abs which feel SO different now.  I also have my second lymphatic drainage massage tonight and I can't wait.  It helps SO much with the swelling!!!

Here are my stats:
Starting: 292
Today: 145, up one pound from last week but still in my acceptable range.
Total lost : 147 pounds!

My goals for this week are to take my vitamins every day and track my food intake every day.

Just out of curiousity...have any of you done weigh****chers since WLS?  Some girls from the office are going to start and I'm contemplating going with them.  I have a couple problems though...first I am in my acceptable weight range so according to them I don't need to loose anything, second if I eat according to their plan I know I"ll gain weight.  Typical diets (including WWs) have you eating 1500 calories to LOOSE weight...If I ate that everyday I'd gain.  I have to stay around 1100-1200 to maintain.  What do you all think?
