Good morning,
It has been a while since I've been on here. I am doing well. How y'all doin? ;)
I had surgery 14 months ago. Recovery went well. My goal weight is still 130 - 135lbs. My low weight was 147 lb****ting 147 lbs was sooo Exciting!! I have experienced some weight gain. Now I'm up to weighing 160.
The weight gain has had me a little concerned. I am hoping that I can lose it. Any suggestions?
I went back to some of my old habits. I enjoyed eating carbs, off-and-on, for a while. It's time to go back to eating healthier. I'll be back on track starting today. :)
The over-all Saggy skin can be a real bummer at times... Fortunately, I can cover up the majority of it with my clothes. I finally like the way I look in my clothes. I am Still getting use to being at a healthy weight.
My "new" face is what's bothering me. My face didn't sag much or have wrinkles before the surgery. I am adjusting to the "new" me. I'm thinking about getting a mini facelift.
Happy to say that My hair loss has stopped for the most part. I have plenty of new growth which is very Exciting :) I hope to have thick hair once again.
Over all, I am pleased with my my surgery results. No regrets. Happy Days!!!

Good morning :)
I've been stalled so far this past week with my weight. I hit my lowest number ever last week and then went up 2lbs and can seem to budge. I hoping to see some movement soon. I'm at 26.5 BMI and would really like to get into the normal range (25 or less). At less than 8 months post-op I really don't want to be done losing.
I have a super busy day ahead with much of it on the road, so I hoping to be super prepared with my food to keep me in check.
B- Chocolate/Peanut butter protein powder with unsweetened Almond milk and 1/2 banana
S- Cheese string and kielbasa
L- Chicken Skewer
S- plum and Kielbasa
D- leftover chicken
S- lite & fit yogurt

WARNING TO SELF AND TO ANYONE WHO WILL LISTEN!!! AVOID 'BAD' CARBS AT ALL COSTS!!! THEY ARE ADDICTING!! THEY WILL SLOW DOWN YOUR WEIGHT LOSS DURING THE LOSING STAGE (and you won't even notice)!! THEY WILL MAKE THE SCALE GO UP AFTER THE HONEYMOON PERIOD IS OVER.
Success in Maintenance starts with GOOD CHOICES during the Honeymoon Period.
I feel I need to repeat this: I am a FIRM believer in Good Whey Protein Drinks!!!!! It is sooooo much harder to do Maintenance without them!

Afternoon LWs!!! I went to a neurologist today because I've been having trouble with my Memory. My PCP did my blood work in December and told me my B12 was good. Stupid me I didn't ask him what the numbers were. The Nero Dr. looked them up and my B12 had dropped for 1100 down to the 300's. I thought I could trust my PCP but apparently not! Going straight to the Drug store after work to stock up on my vitamins!!

1 bag lasts me about 1.5 months. They just increased the price. I order mine from All-Star Health. I complained and they gave me a $5.00 off coupon. Just recently they had a sale it was around $38.00 per bag.
