 Yes, I am drinking with meals.  In the beginning I would dare do that.   Thanks for reminding me!
The greatest use of life is to spend it for something that will outlast it.

We can do this - you, me, and all the rest of us in this boat!

So now the question (facetious, absolutely!) is, do we need a LW maintenance board???

Rebecca,
Maybe what we need is some type of weekly post to see how we are all doing.  Our struggles for the week and victories for the week.  Think that might help??

Me too - but who will post it?  I know I'm not consistent enough to do it.  Linda, did you volunteer? LOL!

i am looking forward to seeing all the input and such about plateaus/stalling, how to keep it off, etc.
i have been stalled/plateau for 11 weeks now and not at goal weight yet....but i am starting the 5 day pouch test tomorrow as i have seen a lot of people saying it helped them.
looking forward to starting downward again.

 Frances,
    I remember you from the early days :) .  I'm not (and never was) a big poster here, but I read almost everything as a way to keep my head in this journey.  My surgery was about 4 months before yours. I'm struggling with about a 10 lb regain and trying to get that back off. I'm not sure what the answer is, but I'm working at improving some bad habits that I fell into (grazing, eating while doing other things, etc.) 
    You can set this back on the right course!  You are here, which is a great start.
Christine
