Topic: RE: Constipation, TMI?
Laura. Just wanted you to know that bananas are binders and will not help keep you loose. The doctor used to recommend I gie them to my kids when their bowels were loose. Hope things are working out for you!
Topic: RE: DO I NEED TO CHANGE WEIGHT LOSS GOAL??
your right.. But my purpose was for health reasons... I not bragging but a SISTER looked good at 300lbs.. at 200lbs my BMI will be 29.6 BMI.. which according to my DOC will be out of the danger zone for increase chances of heart-attacks, high blood pressure, and diabetes.. with that I will be satisfied.. I can wear an XL to Large shirt.. large dress.. so SEXY IS ALMOST THERE... LOL But you will wear that vest again Laura.. like I say don't knock the hustle!!

I think you should do what feels right for you. If your happy at 200 lbs. and feel good, more power to you!
Personally, I want to see how I feel at 150 lbs. I'm 5'9". I have a size medium goose down vest I bought back in my twenties when I worked at Eddie Bauer's. My mother was going to give it away a few years ago and I said, "No!", "I may want to wear it again some day."
My mother said, "You'll never fit in this again!" I would love to prove her wrong. It would make me so happy to wear it over to her house, zipped up! LOL
That's not the only reason, I'm kind of joking about the vest, but it would be fun. I think that in the long run, it would be easier on my body if I'm lighter. I've done a lot of damage to my knees hauling all this extra weight around the last 19 years. Taking medical classes in my college course have really shown me what the side effects of carring around extra weight does to your body.
I want to be healthy too. I want to feel good. Looking better is great, but I want to feel the best I can. So I will follow my gut and see where it leads me.
I do have a fear that I will not be able to stop losing weight when I get to goal, but it's still early for me to be worrying about that.
After going through this surgery, I want to make the most of it and see where it leads me.

Well, I'm having a hard time stopping it. I've maintained my 16 lbs / month since surgery, and honestly, THIS IS GETTING EXPENSIVE!!! I'm not complaining, too much, but I keep thinking that I'm going to stop losing weight, and so I buy clothes, then a couple of weeks go by and they're too big. My last pair of jeans were a size 10, so, i thought, I've not been in a size 10 for 15+ years, I'll be here for awhile. They're getting kind of baggy! ugh. I'm not sure my bank account can handle much more. And, our goodwill doesn't have anything.
As far as eating more goes, it's still hard for me to eat much. I'm supposed to eat more meat for lunch / breakfast, but my body still doesn't tolerate it, and I don't want to get sick at work (again!). talk about embarrassing!
I guess our bodies will stop when they need to, but I feel like it's a waiting game now, to see where I'm going to end up.
