Welcome to your weekend Menu Peeps. Today is another busy day, and I won't get a chance to workout.
Accountability: Pretty good
Question of the Day: Do you watch the news or listen to it on the radio? I listen sometimes, but most of the time it makes me angry.
The eats today at 4 years post-op are:
B. Protein latte, decaf coffee
L. Scrambled eggs with a slice of bacon in a low carb wrap
D. Shrimp with garlic butter, mini crab cakes, side salad with avocado and creamy Greek dressing
Have a great weekend everyone.

I appreciate everyone that responded. This definitely gives me encouragement and lets me know that I'm not cray cray quite yet. I am not delusional in thinking that this is a walk in the park and an easy thing to do by no means but I think many forget just how determined we are to make this work. I am in awe of everyone on here that have made this tool work for them and gotten their lives back. I hope to be one of those success stories in the future. Thanks everyone :) namaste and inlakesh.
I remember meeting the Social Worker for the first time pre surgery. She told me that my goal would be 172 lbs. I started at 287. She asked how I felt about it. I told her that it may be her goal but I wasn't doing this to weigh 172.
Suffice to say I am sitting at 135 - 137 lbs right now. This is where I plan on staying.
I haven't changed anything other than adding a few more calories to keep me in this range. I still work out - love it. I'm very active and enjoying life.
I'm not even a year out so I know regain is possible and probable but...I'm going to do my utmost to make sure it doesn't happen. I didn't go through all of this to gain it back.
I believe my success or lack thereof, is in my hands. I've been given the tool and I need to use it. I've been given psychological and nutritional counselling, it's all up to me now.
I believe you are being realistic. Listen to your inner voice and go for it. Anything is possible.

Meg it would be so nice to have a fireplace in the sunroom. I'm sure the pups would also enjoy it.

Ginny that is awful. I hope your Mom is doing better today. Having 2 protein bars on hand was a clever idea. But then, I always knew your were clever. I have a meat stick in my glove compartment and a protein bar and a single packet of protein shake in my gym bag which stays in the car.

My nurse in Ottawa at the CIvic hospital said they expect 20-30% extra weight loss of their patients. So for me i started at 247 and my goal weight according to my center is like from 170lbs to 192! I find that high considering at 2 months out in already at 196- i'm just going to keep going and do what's i can. The surgery is just a tool to use to tour best ability-
