UGH!!!!
Its hard for me to understand at this point (8 months out) how so many have gained the weight back after surgery. As with many of us, this is a huge fear of mine. Its just hard for me to imagine being able to eat that much again. Currently, I am still losing a little here and a little there, at a very slow pace, and I'm happy with my progress. Would be ok if I stopped losing at this point, but worried about rebounding.
Anyway, I'm sure my persective will change as time goes on. There was a time I couldn't imagine losing this much weight!!
Have a great day!

If I ate a cup of ice cream for breakfast (which happens to be what my partner is eating for his breakfast right now), a slice of pizza for lunch, a slice of pizza for dinner, some more ice cream and some chips for snacks, can you see how many calories I might be getting? not to mention no protein.

250 calories (more than half of which are fat!), 15g of fat, and 22g of sugar in a half cup. Oh, yeah, and 2 measly grams of protein, LOL. Yes, I have it memorized... it is my favorite sweet treat, but I eat less than 1/4C at a time... usually just a spoonful.
