Now who would have ever thought that I'd be excited that I've been able to put on a few lbs. I have always fought the scale in the other direction, but now I'm delighted that I've been able to stop the weight loss and get my weight back up to 136 by adding more fat and carbs to my diet. I'm keeping a close eye on it and will make necessary adjustments if my wieght starts moving upward too much.

I just thought I'd give you an update to let you know that I'm doing well.

I am so glad for you. It has to be a scary feeling to keep losing when you don't want to. I guess your body is trying to figure out where it wants to be.

You look great! Keep up the great work.

Made it to ONDERLAND!!!!!!!

Yippee Barb!  I know this has really been a concern for you.  Ahhhhhh, you're still in control.  :)

Is there a range that you want to stay within, or are you just taking things as they come?

Hi Deb,

Right now I'm just taking it as it comes. I think I'm most comfortable in the mid 140's, but if I stay here it would be okay and even if I got up as high as the mid 150's, I could handle that ... but I must say that the thought of gaining 20 lbs is scary. So, we'll just wait and see what happens. While I wanted to stop losing and to gain, I have to admit that gaining is a scary proposition. I'm so afraid that I can't control it and that I'll end up where I started.

It looks like you are doing well with your weight.

Wishing you continued success.

Love,

Barb

Band to DS

Unfortunately, I had to delete this message due to privacy concerns.

Got a lap band in 2008. Tried hard, but didn't lose much weight & developed swallowing problems. Fought my insurance company for almost a year & finally had a band to DS revision on 5/11/12. Have now lost 125 pounds. Yay!
