Topic: RE: Update on Me
Well as of today I am at 104, not back up to 110 yet. I think the reasons I don't do well are because I don't plan my meals and I don't make myself stop to eat. I generally lack the usual cravings to eat.
My BMI is currently 18.2, which is definitely under weight. I have started trying to add the high calorie protein shake, I do well if I l like the shake, but if I don't like it I pour it out. I need to remember what I did before when I liked them.
Thanks for thinking about me..I am hanging in there.

You know I guess I need to ask them about the caloric intake for 115. I guess they will retest when I gain, not sure exactly. Thanks for thinking and giving me hope.
Hugs,

Hi Janie!
Glad the weight came off finally and you are on the move again. I really did lose 4 sizes. I went from a size 14 to a 10. Keeping in mind I am tall and large framed, I am feeling pretty good at 158. I really don't think I should go any lower but I am going to really focus on working out and toning this summer. Hopefully I can do that and maintain my weight somewhere in the 150's. My face is getting drawn-looking and my shoulders and collar bones are really starting to stick out and look boney, so I think that is my sign to say ENOUGH!
I have to tell you, I did not even realize I was swollen. I looked at those initial pics I took and my stomach is completely flat as a board now, where in those first pics that I posted it wasn't. I have lost about 5 pounds in the last 2 weeks and I know it was just the swelling. I feel great though. Glad to hear you are feeling pretty much recovered too!

YES! YES! YES! I'm addicted. I love to shop and want everything. I'm ashamed to admit, in the past 2 weeks I've purchased 4 pair of sandals and 2 pair of tennis shoes. Of course, I find my favorite and wear that everday. lol! I don't want to tell you how many capris and shirts I've purchased the past 2 weeks either. I had no summer clothes though, that's my excuse!!!
Do you find yourself, buying and then returning? I can't make up my mind, I buy all of them, then get home and feel guilty then I'm back at the store returning.
Suz, I hope you feel better.

OMG are you serious, you went down 4 sizes?? WOW!! That's amazing. I haven't gone down, but have finally got down to 125, I left the hospital after PS at 142 and it seemed like to took forever to lose it. I think a lot of the swelling is gone, and my body wants to be at 125.
How are you feeling? Fully recovered? I am pretty much.

Lindy - do you now weigh 110 or 105? Do you desire the food but restrict yourself because you are scared of gaining too much weight or the addiction to food coming back? If that is the case, maybe talking to someone such as a counselor would help.
If it's just the lack of desire to eat, how about adding a high cal protein shake into your diet?
I think 110 for 5'3 is pretty low, have you checked your BMI? Is it in the low side of the normal range? Everyone has different body structure, so maybe your body wants to be at 110 and looks good that little. I am just 5'2 and would not look good weighing that litlte. I am @ 125 now and would like to lose a few more lbs. But when I got down to 119 people started telling me I was getting too skinny.
Please don't be embarassed to post about what's happening in your life. First of all, we are here for you and want to encourage you, Second, there might be someone out there reading your post that you could help a great deal.
Hang in there ****HUGS****. Janie

Kimmy - I agree with the others, you aren't done. It's just going to be harder and require more determination from you than the 1st yr. But now that you've learned healthier eat habits, that will keep you going. Go back to the basics, that should kick start the weight loss again. But be proud of yourself, you have lost a lot of weight.

Lindy - hey skinny minnie!
Thanks so much for your well wishes and prayers. Yesterday we signed her up with hospice. It was such a hard decision, but we had a good meeting w/ hospice and it's the best way to go, her body wants to die and we are artificially keeping her alive w/ feeding tubes and respirators. They will keep her comfortable until she does pass, which makes me feel good. I don't want her in any pain. Thanks again.

Wow! First, I think you need to take credit for the 130 pounds you have lost. That is great! And second, it is by no means too late. Have you checked out the 5 day pouch test? You are a great candidate for this. It really helps you to get back to basics and make your pouch work for you. Here is the link
