It's great to have support like that, I agree. Good job!

I know the memory loss is really scary. I hate it but I'm not sure what I can do about it. My parents are always working on puzzles and reading, but I don't know how much that helps.

I did better today, so I'll call this a practice day. I diluted the milk I use in protein coffees and shakes and skipped the Greek yogurt. I did have some Valentines Day candy though. It was a start in the right direction. We'll see if it made any difference in the morning.

I wish I could get back to only eating around 1000 cal a day. You're doing great! Losing 68 pounds is nothing to sneeze at but I understand your frustration. I've heard that folks with revisions may have a little more difficulty getting the weight to come off as compared to a person whose only in the newby stage of a single WLS. It's like your body has been there, done that, and knows the tricks of how to keep the weight on. Max frustration for sure but beatable. I've seen some great results over the years here on OH. Just stay with it and don't stop. Your WL window should be 12 or so months, so keep at it!

Carolyn's post was trying to warn folks that have less pounds to lose overall to not be discouraged when they see someone with a lot more pounds to lose posting about losing 150 pounds in 6 months. That's not going to happen for us lightweights who only have to lose 100 pounds overall. We lose at similar rate as related to our weight, just not the same number of pounds as a heavier person.

I'm glad things are working out, Roz. Keep us posted.
