Topic: RE: MAY BOARD ... WHERE ARE THE MEMBERS
I'm staying close by. I have been stuck at 150 since Feb. Tried different things, but these last 15 lbs must really like me. Happy Anniversary to everyone. Keep up the great work. Every one of you are awesome.

I'm new to this board...but I think it's great to be able to share our journey with others that had their surgery in May of 2004.

Topic: RE: What are you going to do???
Well, I am broke, but I have a vacation planned to go to Califonia for 10 days. That's my present...enjoy California, family that I haven't seen in a year, and take my daughter to Disney Land.
When I have my 1 year appt with my surgeon, I plan on giving him a very sentimental card and thank him for all he's done!!! He's great and has helped me live a longer life.
Maybe after I get my tummy tuck and hernia repair (hopefully in Sept), then I'll celebrate and go shopping!!!! I would love to buy a whole bunch of new clothes, but I need to save up for that.

Topic: RE: How many calories do you now eat in a day?
Hi
I usually eat between 750-1000 calories a day, depends...some days I can eat more than others. I exercise 3-4 days a week and usually for an hour. I am currently at 143 lbs (with my period) and I didn't gain weight (which is unusual, I usually gain 3-6 pounds) anyway, my doc's goal is 130, so I have 13 pounds left, and haven't lost much since March. It is going very slow. I drink 70-90 oz of water/decaf ice tea unsweetend a day. I think that maybe if I did eat more it would come off faster, but it's hard to get in more that what I am already eating. To me, it sounds like you're getting in a good number of calories per day. Keep it up, it will come off.
How much do you usually lose in a month? I lose only 1-2 weeks out of the month and average 4-8 pounds a month, so it is very slow.
Hope this helps you out.

Lisa .. you are so right .. what a Re-Birtday month this is .. I have so many things I want to do but here is how I plan on spending my day .. May 27th ..
I took that day off from work . I am going to go back up to the hospital to the nurses station where I was in the hospital and present the nurses there with flowers and a card .
Then I am going over to my doctors office and present the nurse practioner there who has been with me thru all of this with flowers and a card .. and if I can catch him . I am going to present my surgeon with a gift and a hand written card as well . I am then coming back home to prepare for a huge party at a local eatery .. with some of my new WLS friends and family .. The following Saturday .. I am heading to the beach to run like the wind .. I just can not wait .. it will be a day to celebrate for sure .. So many milestones for me have been made this past year .. and I just want to shout it from the roof tops ..
Hugs .

Topic: RE: How many calories do you now eat in a day?
Funny .. I just posted to my VA board .. I barely get in 900 a day . and I know I should be eating more .. but how ??? I do 2 protein drinks a day ..and keep my carbs @ 30 now .. but man o man.. she is going to want me to get them up and I just do not know how. I spoke to a gal that is 2 years out and she gets in @ 2000 a day .. right now there is no way .. I hang between 148 and 150 ..depends on my fluid intake from the previous day.. I want to get to 145 and stop . I too loose about 1 pound a week so far .. I backed off from the gym cuz I was loosing to fast .. I go about 2 x a week and walk the rest of the time . I know changing up my exersise routine normally jumps starts a significant loss. Perhaps I will add swimming back to my day and see if these last few will come off . My docs goal was 150 pounds .. but I am addicted to these new sizes and do not want to ever go back to anything other than a size 6 . It is for life that is for sure ..
Hugs ..
