A direction I am more comfortable with after 4 days of gains! A completely bizarre feeling losing after taking it easy. I plan another light day, probably helping DH do more research and maybe some recreational web design.

Thanks Elina!
You know how it is for us newbies - We panic any time the scale goes in the wrong direction! I use my reason to try and control the emotional reaction.
I just miss my long walks and runs! Doing everything I can to recover quickly. That "instant gratification" thing keeps getting me though!
I will keep listening to you guys and following your advice - you never lead me wrong!

I visited my friend yesterday, she is 10 months out from VSG and four pounds away from her very low goal weight. She looks fantastic and feels great. I was amazed at how little she is still eating. I mean it's really tiny amounts. Our doctor told her that she had one of the longest stomachs he had ever seen, and I am starting to think that he customized her sleeve to be smaller because of the length. She is still eating about 1/4 cup of food at a sitting. I asked her if she minded the small portions, she just grinned and told me that I should be jealous. She loves the control and freedom this gives her. I think she has an amazing attitude. She told me that she absolutely loves her sleeve and fully believes that she will never regain. I am just passing on her great story.
I'm certainly not complaining about it. But, it does force me into eating more small meals everyday.
