Still losing at 2o months post-op
on February 19, 2008 12:01 am

Yep, I was at a stall for several months.
Then, for no reason, I started to lose again.
I've been eating the same way for this entire year.
No change, except I've started to add a few carbs into my diet.
Yes, the dreaded carb! I am careful still to avoid empty carbs.
But the occasional carb seems to be just fine.
I have more energy now and I'm very happy about that.
I still need to be careful about snacking during certain times of the month.
Other than that, keeping the weight in check has been rather easy.
Thank God for this tool.

Is it 18 months already!

My, Has it been 18 months already?
It is amazing how I have lost and maintained.
MY simple RULES:
No Carbs!
No white stuff: no bread (which means no sandwiches), no rice, tiny bits of potatos (if any), no cookies, cakes (except a nibble at parties).
this is hard at times but it is helping me to keep the weight off.
TINY portions.
I try not to eat more than a tiny custard cup (4 - 6 oz.) of food at any meal. This way I don't stretch out my tummy or overeat.
No drinking with meals... really hard!

I'm a size 8 (should be a 6) and I don't want to re-gain anything. I'd like to lose another 7 -10 pounds.
If I had surgery and removed my excess skin, that would take care of that weight plus extra, but it seems a little dangerous.

B complex supplements are fabulous!
