***280 lbs.***

One pound. Meh. Not sure how this is different from regular weight loss. With the amount I have to lose, this is going to take forever. Is this normal for 10 yrs after surgery? A bit disappointing. And a bit envious of some of the smaller patients who were able to lose all of their weight in the "honeymoon phase". Pooh. 

I am eating all good things, and much smaller portions. I am under my daily caloric intake level (by quite a bit), which can't be a terrific thing. Yet, I don't want to eat five turkey burgers just to meet it... or eat garbage. I know I have to get back in the gym, but I don't want to until I've quit smoking. (Which is next on the agenda, but I've quit so many things at once that I don't want to overwhelm myself and fail). 

On the bright side... a couple of my issues have gone away and my nails are stronger. (I'd still prefer weight to go away).

P.S. Kathy... the mandolin slicer is awesome! There is no stand on it though. You lay it across a bowl or hold it at an angle. But the blade is very sharp and it cuts cleanly, it's simple to use and stores flat, standing up. I used it to slice zucchini for use in place of lasagna noodles. It has other blades so that you can also dice and julienne.
