It's been over a year since I was last on here but I'm in the process of taking my life back so being accountable to what i eat each day is part of that.

I've set a goal of losing the 35 pounds that I've gained over the past 10 months from eating wrong, stress and not exercising.

I bought a new food scale and measuring cups to keep me motivated since I backslide at the drop of a hat. 

I moved into an area that doesn't have a wls support group except ones that are sponsored by individual doctors/hospitals OR they are where I can't get to them (I don't currently have a car).  That is no excuse though, so I'm taking back my life.  I'm going to lose that horrible 35 pounds and start exercising again.

thank you for listening,

What was your name on here before?  When was your surgery?

hi Kat,

for the life of me, I can't remember.

My surgery was 12/6/2012. Dr. Laura Machado in Sacramento, CA

I got down to 150lbs and then all hell broke loose in my world and I lost control.

Hello! I am in South Lake Tahoe, CA and have chosen to have Dr. Machado for my surgery (I'm still in the beginning stages). Your the first person I have seen list her. If you don't mind me asking, how did you like her? How was your surgery initially?

Good luck on your journey!

Dr. Laura is the BOMB. She really cares about her patients. My surgery went really well.

Thank you Karen,

I love Carlsbad too, just so very expensive here.  I took a pay cut when I came here and my spouse still hasn't been able to move down here yet so we're paying two rents.  Long story.... sigh
