Wow, I can not believe it has been so long since I have been on OH.  Lets see I am three + yrs out.  I have lost and I have gained and am now trying get back on track.  I have a balcony person at work that is very motivating and helpful ( thanks Steph)  I had completely gotten away from all weight loss info and guess what happened!  I NEED HELP.  Yes I have started back exercising, now to just get more frequent with it.  I am now again watching what and how much I eat.  Powerful words I read " the surgery only changes the size of your stomach"  the rest is  now up to me.  I did not go to my annual Doc appt due to the fact I did not want to face my surgeon weighing more than I had the yr before. 
Would love to hear words of wisdom......

Yesterday was my 36th B-day and 6th Anniv.  I was pround to weigh and be at 179.  I have been stuck for a long time but this wk has been good with the scales moving down.  I went shopping with my daughter and was happy to find what size I am in,  It is getting close to my surg anniv and I am reminded how every day is and will be a challenge.   I have had some first this last month that I am very excited about, riding a motorcycle and trying to climb a rock wall.  These are things I would never have done in the past.  Yea ME!

Well I can not believe six months has past.  I am down 64 lbs.  I am at a loss for words.  Day by day I will meet my goal!

Welcome 2008!  today is a red letter day, I weight 199!  It is so nice to get under that 200 mark.  On the 7th it will be 5months into this journey and I am 59lbs lighter! I am very proud cause it has not been easy!   The sugar in your face holidays has been hard for me.  I need to detox.  I relize more than ever surgar is my drug of choice.  I have lost a lot of hair but on a positive I do have some new baby hair coming in. I am off to get a new do with what is left LOL.

Yes the scale have moved.  what a relief!  still need more protien.

At five wks I had a stricture fixed and went to the OH conferance in San Antonio.  It was GREAT!
So now I am 32 lbs less and doing okay most of the time.  I have not been good at getting my water, protein, or vitamins in, Goals I need to set!  I am currently looking for a day job. Im a RN and working nights is making me old way to fast.  My hubby has lost 17 lbs by cutting back.  It has been great having him in the "game" with me.  I am still trying to learn how to get around on OH boards, so any help will be wonderful,  like getting a profile pic to work. 

I really do not know where to start.  My surgery was Aug 7, 2007, so I am 19 days out and only 13 lbs less.  I was told I would loose slower do to this being a revision.  I still do not like it.  The past couple of days have been very hard, sometimes when I eat I get all the symptoms of dumping, even on cream of wheat!  what gives?  I am very discourged.  I am having a hard time getting in more than 30gm of protien and all my water.  The worst part is all I want to do is sleep.  Not good with a large family and the fact that I go back to work this wed.  12hr night shifts.  I can not be out for 15-20 min after trying to eat, that and it just wipes me out. 

Tomorrow is a new day and I just had an egg beater with cheese and no prob.  Thank you Lord!
