It's been a while!
I don't even know how long it's been since I've posted on here. My tummy tuck was over a year ago. My weight plummeted after that. I hit 122. That doesn't low but I realized I wasn't healthy looking. I had to work to gain some. My current range is 130-135.
I still drink my protein shakes every morning. PVL Whey Gourmet Artic Cappuccino Frappe made with unsweetened vanilla almond milk. I have 2 meals and 3 snacks a day after that. I say I'm vitamin compliant but I admit that every now and again I'll have a week where my stomach feels less than great and I miss.
I just bought an eliptical because my treadmill just wasn't doing it for me anymore. With really only 30 minutes to devote to exercise I need to get as much bang as I can in as short a time.
My husband is back from Iraq now...for a couple months. So that's good. :)
I'm slightly obsessed with keeping my weight under 140 but OVER 130. How crazy is that?! If I get down to 130 then I have steak and brownies... If I get up over 135 then I go back to nuts, whole grains, salads, and salsas.

I don't think it's all that obsessive or crazy..You've come from something like battle field fatique...you know what you can handle without losing your control and that's it..I know that I want to weigh 130 but can't bring myself to let that number go up there..Line from a song: It could take some time and concentration to believe it, this I know...but then you also have to understand that it's "the pot calling the kettle "black" sort of..I dont' think it's crazy but you don't know exactly how sane I am. LOL.
So give it some time...mental health comes for us alittle slower than the physical.

Yes, RNY worked for me but it also requires a lot of work from me!
