Vicki,
Awesome! If you want to friend me here on OH I can PM you then...no worries either way! I have met a few ladies from OH...but it was because we had the same surgeon. We were even roomies at the hospital, it was like weight loss surgery camp because there were four of us in the room.
You look great and it was so fun spotting you! 
I am sure I will see you around the 'hood!!

Topic: RE: Biggest Fear
I think you have a great attitude. Keep strong. I passed my 2nd year anniversary yesterday and I haven't hit goal yet. Sometimes I believe my real goal is my birthweight, 6 lbs., lol. I hit my surgeon's goal several months ago but never said my REAL goal to anyone. My PCP feels I've done enough but says my goal is unreasonable at my age. I'll be 57 tomorrow. I would like to lose another 15 lbs and be below 135. I have the fear of hitting goal and gaining weight the following morning. Maybe the fear of regain is normal. When will we really believe the miracle?

Hi Jenny!
It took me a while to figure out how to get back on here, but I did it! (yay me) lol
It was so cool running into you~ in fact, I have posted about it on FB. haha. I don't know how to make myself more "findable" on there. (don't want to blast it on here). But, maybe at some point we will have mutual friends on there? Or, you could send me a private message on here and I can try finding you. That may work because I have my settings to private on there. Whichever, you decide!
Thanks again for coming up to me. That was way cool and just what I needed to get slapped back into reality. As a matter of fact, as soon as I got home- I took all my vitamins like a good little girl. :)
Take care and hope to hear from you again,
Vicki

aww thanx lisa I appreciate the advice
I had to chuckle when I read your posts leading up to surgery! I too waited a long time for my options classes and all the pre testing psych tests etc! Was funny I felt like a kid waiting for a Christmas that was taking forever to arrive! Im still struggling to find protein I can keep down. Ive even got to eating a Arctic Zero ice cream daily for the 4 grms of protein I get an can keep down! Wishing you continued good luck! Patti

Your Protein is very important. I have a rough time with mine too but I force myself to do it, I have found I can do the Premier shakes from Costco and to change it up I add sf raspberry syrup to it.. With me on the weight loss I am considered a light weight so I didn't have a lot to lose so mine is coming off slower then Hubby.. My surgery was on 4/14/11 and I have lost 53 lbs Hubby surgery was on 5/4/11 and he has lost 81 lbs, He has been losing kinda like you are. We both had Dr Fedorka..
Good Luck, Lisa 
Topic: RE: to start again
hey hi i have a question if ya dont mind. I too am a Kaiser fontana patient went to dr, Suh had my surgery july 29th 2011 and have been losing about a pound a day to 2 days so far I have lost over 40 lbs. Im pretty amazed and am wondering when does it usually tend to slow down? I dont like any protein shakes at all so im having trouble with getting enough protein and am thinking its because im defecient in it
