Hi everybody, it's been a while since I've been on. Had my surgery Aug. 22. I started at 278, I'm down to 216. The first 50 was easy and fast. Now things seem to be going alot slower. Has it been that way for anyone else. I've been able to eat almost everything. This is not a good thing. Even though I'm not eating like I did before surgery, losing these last few weeks has been hard. And I find I get depressed and graze. I try to eat the good stuff. But that's always the way. Now I go to the gym 3 times a week. That's been really hard. But I do better and more every time I go. I went to that realage.com. and I'm getting down to my real age. LOL. I've got 4.7 years to go. So I do feel good about that. My goal is to do one of those walks, for MS or breast cancer. I've heard of people eating there way back to there starting weight and then some. I worry about that too. I've never been one of those people who can't eat when they worry. I don't smoke any more, don't drink, don't bite my nails. I graze and I can't seem to stop my self. I drive me nuts. Any one else out there know what I mean? Thank you all for being there.

Hi Marge, I understand, it's hard even with a smaller stomach...We're addicts. I hated to admit it, but it's just like any other addiction.. I stopped smoking a year before my surgery. I'm still smoke free thank God. I had my surgery last April. I find myself going beyond my "best meal plan", but keep walking/exercising, it's crucial. Hang in there and if you ever want to talk, email me. Jo.
