Thanks to all. I did fix my typo. For some reason I keep saying my weight in the hundreds too. Must be some sort of subconscious slip. Someday soon I hope to be right.

You are soooo right!! I had 5 friends who had the RNY before me and they weren't LW's but we have the same struggles as I do.

WARNING TO SELF AND TO ANYONE WHO WILL LISTEN!!! AVOID 'BAD' CARBS AT ALL COSTS!!! THEY ARE ADDICTING!! THEY WILL SLOW DOWN YOUR WEIGHT LOSS DURING THE LOSING STAGE (and you won't even notice)!! THEY WILL MAKE THE SCALE GO UP AFTER THE HONEYMOON PERIOD IS OVER.
Success in Maintenance starts with GOOD CHOICES during the Honeymoon Period.
I feel I need to repeat this: I am a FIRM believer in Good Whey Protein Drinks!!!!! It is sooooo much harder to do Maintenance without them!
Good Morning LW's!!!!! My morning started out wonderful....I burnt my oatmeal. I told DH to just let the pan soak all day and I'll take care of it when I get home.

This week (Thursday) I will celebrate my birthday!! I don't get too caught up in it, it really is just another day. I still have to get out of bed and go to work, LOL.
I hope your week is a good one, good luck with your parents.
Over 100 lbs lost! and 13 lbs below goal weight!
LOL! I know that sometimes it is implied that us "lightweights" have it easy. However, we usually end up with WLS for the same health reasons as everyone else. And though we may get to goal faster, the harder work of maintaining is the same for all of us.

I am scheduled for my VSG next week on 10/11/17. As you can imagine I am full of excitement and hesitation at the same time. Being 5'3" tall and reaching a max weight of about 245 pounds I have been morbidly obese for a good part of my adult life. Being a man, before I retired, I worked in a profession where suits and ties were common. The last time I bought a suit, the size was a 52-Portly. Due to my weight I have developed severe dry eye issues and glaucoma. My eye specialist referred me to to a pulmonary specialist because she stated that glaucoma in obese patients can quite often be a bi product of sleep apnea. Well a sleep study conformed OSA. I am very compliant with this darned machine but i hate it with a passion. I have also had several hernia repairs and the surgeon told me that if I didn't lose the weight we would meet again.
Not long ago my wife asked if I would consider WLS. Until then I never thought I would qualify but having sleep apnea as a co-morbidity, I do meet the criteria to quality. I am ready for the changes.
In my first post on OH, a person said they hard a hard time relating to lightweights (me) because I am currently at 203#. I have never considered myself to be a lightweight, but I hope to someday.

You definitely have to keep up the self-discipline...low volume on the food, low carb, vitamins and exercise.
My enforced victory at work is the 3d floor bathrooms are closed for repair for 3 months and we have to take the stairs down to the next floor and I have to go several times during the day.

MILES:
Ran 3 miles (slowly) this morning with my sister's dog. I wasn't feeling up to a run so it was slow, and I was going to just stop after a mile but we managed to talk ourselves into all three. Tonight I have run club, which will be lecture and walking jogging for 30 minutes (warm-up and cool-down will add another 30) then I'll do my weight lifting circuit which usually takes me almost an hour to finish. Tomorrow is a morning SWIM day, and hopefully I'll have my bike back from the shop so I can commute on it tomorrow!
