Good morning Barb. Enjoy you dinner out. Suppose to be another hot day. Whatever happen to spring? I am not complaining I would rather this than the winter we had but it is hard to adjust.

I have become involved with my union at work, The bargaining unit is really interesting. I have a meeting after work tonight. Still debating if I will ride my bike home.

Wow Pat....I just realized you were more then 3 years out......feels different eh?.....I am so happy I have a  physically normal life now.....I know its forever...the constan****ching what goes in my mouth....but my thin friends do the same......

Pssst.... you ARE one of your "thin friends"

lol....I will feel like one of my "thin" friends when I lose this re-gain....my head is really there for this....the big moment for me was sticking to clean eating when I didn't lose for 2 weeks....that got me over the hump mentally....now, I know I am going to get there....and it will take months....but that's OK.....so "only" 21 to go.....when I think about how much I had to lose pre-surgery....it is such a do-able amount

A totally do-able amount. And completely normal - I don't know too many people who haven't at least wanted to lose 10-20 pounds over their adult years. We are lucky in that we have restriction, as you mentioned in another post, from the pouch that "normies" don't have. For myself, I look mainly at my meal trends and when too many carbs have found their way back into my menu I cut back or cut out for a period of time 'til I feel I have it under better control. Speaking of which, I'll be doing a modified 5DPT in a couple of days - too many carb cravings!

As always, I'm proud of you.

Thanks Karen

...re 5DPT.....I have never done this....just went to lean protein and veg.....both require some white knuckling to get thru

I generally don't do the first 2 shakes only type days but I do enjoy the high protein, no carb re-set. The first couple days are the hardest for sure, carbs really are a *****

Thanks Barb. There was actually an error. I am just over 2 years. As Karen has said you are one of my thin friends. Just trying to lose 10 lbs has been a struggle. I realised this morning that when I was 287 I would not let myself go over 300. For me that was just too much. As though at this weight another 13 lbs would make a difference. I think for me right now the number 150 upsets me. Like I have let myself down. But I am getting used to this body and realise that although I do not want to gain more where I am right now isn't so bad. No matter how much weight I lose I will never be a size 6 LOL.

Pat, not counting my extreme loss-due-to-illness last year (that I have thankfully regained with good health), it took me well into my third year post-op to hit my lowest weight. The body has a mind of it's own sometimes. Just when I would think I was done losing, I would lose some more. Just now, at 8 years post-op, I feel like my body has found its happy place at 120 pounds.
