Welcome to the LW board!
LOL!
I remember how funny it felt to be called a lightweight too! Especially since I was almost rounder than I was tall! I am 61.5 inches tall and my waist line was 55!
Congrats on the beginning of your journey!

Its hard to explain the physical changes. For me slowly as I got further away from surgery
I forgot that my RNY was a tool, not a cure for my morbid obesity
I quit journaling my food, weighing and measuring.
Got lazy about drinking enough water, too much coffee and tea.
I can eat more now. Got into the habit of grazing especially with stress. Menopause, insomnia, and hormone therapy, slowed things down a bit too.
Avoiding the scale and not journaling my food, were my 2 biggest mistakes.
I have heard, not sure it is true, but I know the human body is amazing, and that we do lose some of our malabsorption.
You are doing an amazing job, and if we keep doing the things we learn in the honeymoon period, success will be yours!
But the beauty is that my tool still works after 7 years.

Thanks Gina!
Low carb worked well for me as a preop, and it sure still makes a huge difference in my post op life. Love not feeling hungry all the time.
Love your victory, stairs are one of those things, I hate, but love to do! You feel like right away!

Love my birthdays now, feel way better in my fifties than I did in my forties!

Good morning gang! Been to the gym already and will get out for my walk at lunch today. Nothing much going on this week so its pretty quiet and boring. Been thinking about doing some evening classes at the gym but my Trucker already thinks that I don't need to go everyday so if I start going twice a day he'll have a stroke! LOL

Thanks to all. I did fix my typo. For some reason I keep saying my weight in the hundreds too. Must be some sort of subconscious slip. Someday soon I hope to be right.

You are soooo right!! I had 5 friends who had the RNY before me and they weren't LW's but we have the same struggles as I do.

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!
Good Morning LW's!!!!! My morning started out wonderful....I burnt my oatmeal. I told DH to just let the pan soak all day and I'll take care of it when I get home.
Breakfast:
Protein: Matrix Mint Cookie 35g
Lunch: Scrambled, Bacon, Cheese
Snack:
Protein: Matrix Mint Cookie 35g
