It's been quite some time since last posting, but I thought I'd jump on here and say hi to everyone.  Not sure if I actually do have Celiac Disease or not.  Got offered a position in a clinical trial but I didn't want to take the chance without having been diagnosed officially by a physician.  My bariatric surgeon doesn't think that it is; may just be that I've increased the amount of fat in my diet to the point that it's causing digestive issues in the large intestine.

Will try to get on here more often from now on. 

Am still available on www.allexperts.com

I'm back up to around 150 and keeping a good balance.

I've dropped some down to ~145 and am wondering how to keep my weight from going any lower.  Am keeping the sugar and fat levels low but am eating pretty much whatever I want as often as I want.

I'm scheduled for my 15 month check-up today and I think I've reached my set point now. 

I've been bouncing up and down from 153 to 159 for about the last two months.  So I guess that's where my body wants me.

I'm pretty much able to nibble all day long and there are even times in the evening when I feel absolutely stuffed.

It's a good life...

Had a virtual colonoscopy this past week.  Asked if I needed the standard "colon blow" regimen that people who had a whole stomach would have and was told that it was perfectly fine for me to have the same.  Well, I got home around 4pm and took the first helping of the nasty tasting crap that was supposed to blow through me like S**T through the proverbial goose.  Thinking that I had some time before I would feel the "results", I jumped on my treadmill and set it for a 20 min countdown.  With 12 min left on the timer, IT WAS TIME TO STOP!!!  And I was back and forth to the bathroom for the rest of the night.  EIGHT MINUTES FLAT, THROUGH MY DIGESTIVE TRACT.  It must have been a record.  The procedure was uncomfortable as they advertised, but it was over quickly and I already have the results; no problems.   YAYYYYYY ME!!!

Was sick last week (Tue-Thur) and by the time I got back on the scales, I was down five lbs from my lowest.  Now I'm working hard to get those five back!  Need to find a way to get more protein and a little more fat back into my diet.  I'm now under my goal by about eleven pounds.

I was selected as one of the biographies for the BEFORE/AFTER section of the January/February edition of OH Magazine.

It's a tremendous honor and I'm floored that they selected me.

And it brings to light even more the progress that I've made since they contacted me.  At that time I was down 197 lbs and now I'm down 220.

Just had my annual check-up with my GP and he said that I'm healthier than I was when I was twenty-five years old.  AND I'M FIFTY-ONE!!!

I'm floating on air right now - another in a long string of WOW moments.

Still losing slowly.  About 2.5 lbs in the past month.
Down 219.5 lbs and I feel like I'm eating like a fiend.  It's amazing...
