How long after surgery before you had your first glass of wine or any alcohol at all? And did you notice a difference in how the alcohol affected you?
For me, it is sticking to whole grains and lean meat, and always trying to limit myself and my portions, and so often I have to stop myself from eating while I am still hungry.
Congratulations on losing 200 pounds!
Exercise is my downfall. I know I need to do more.
Thank you for paying it forward...
I understand your frustration with others but this is your time to celebrate you! Losing 248 pounds is remarkable and you should be very proud. I find you to be an inspiration and your journey can help others if you wish to share it.
Having a support tribe
seeing the surgery as a tool and not a panacea
making a lifetime commitment to my maintenance plan(and everyone is different)
being mindfully active. I don't exercise but move as much as i can in my day
dont think i can ever "eat reasonably" or intuitively so knowing i have to track my food somehow
loving myself and wanting health
a healthy terror of "re-fatting"
Just a quick list because I'm cooking
6 years out 200 pound weight loss
I had RNY on a Tuesday, went home on Thursday. I was doing housework over the weekend and went back to work on Monday, I did not need anyone to stay with me.

Real life begins where your comfort zone ends
My hubby only took the day of surgery off. I did fine at home by myself. I planned ahead for eating, drinking and just took it easy and did just fine.
Best wishes,
