WTG Wanda!!!!!! Congrats on being so successful while you were gone.... It is so tough when you cannot prepare your own meals.... One pound is an awesome accomplishment.... Way to stay on track!!!!!! HUGS, Shawn M.

So glad to hear that you are doing so well... I have been thinking about you a lot lately and wondering how things were.... Congrats on the one year anniversary... Todd and I just had our 10 year while I was gone in Louisiana... It was hard to be away from him during a time we should have been together celebrating, but we did talk on the phone that day.... WTG on holding your weight up... I know what a struggle that has been for you.... I am so glad that you are doing so well with that... You look terrific!! Tell Henry I said congrats on the new job.... That is just awesome.... Keep us posted on how everything is going... Take care.... HUGS, Shawn M.

Let's see...I can typically eat two slices of pizza at a time or a half sandwich, one ground beef enchilada with a bit of salad, 2 oz of tuna salad, a cup of pasta w/ sauce, less is there is meat. I can eat probably two cups of salad (again, no meat), plain chicken less than 2 oz, beef and pork, the same, even if it's in a sauce. I'd snack constantly if I let myself. So yeah, I have to be pretty strict about it most of the time. For awhile I was staying under 30 grams of carbs per day but that was in an effort to loose weight which didn't work in the least. I've kind of gotten off that band wagon but it helps to do it for three or four days a week just to stay on track. Otherwise I just really try to plan my meals and limit my grazing to veggies or a piece of fruit and even that grazing I keep pretty limited or I tend to go off the deep end. Corinna

Congrats to your daughter..She must've felt soooo wonderfull!!! Glad to hear such a great WOW moment..Congrats on your weight also..This surgery is such a wonderfull thing!! :) Keep up the good work!!!!

Hello Everyone, Thought I would let you know how we are doing. For myself I am doing good, still working, still watching what I eat and drink lots of water, I hang around 140 to 143 dont want to go over. Had all surgeries gallbladder, historectomy, eyes and I feel great. My daughter had her RYN Aug 30 2007 and she is down 105 lbs, she now weighs 134. She had a wow moment that we both were thrilled about. She plays baseball, she is 34 years young, and the year before she had to quit playing ball because she was so big that she could not make it around the bases, well she was up to bat and two outs, bases loaded, all she had to do wa**** the third base in, which she did and they won the game, her coach came out and lifted her ABOVE his head and spun her around he was so excited, she said "Mom I was so shocked, no on has ever picked me up above their head and spun me around, I felt so good, just know that a year ago he would not of even of thought of picking me up" what a "wow" moment for her. I was so thrilled for her. Thought I would share with all of you, what a wonderful surgeries that we all have had. Chrisy
