Humming along....

So I'm nearly 9 months out, and I have lost 108 pounds. The "you're too skinny" and "you're not going to lose anymore, are you?" comments have started. I feel wonderful, I eat well and I enjoy food again. My appetite is back! I still struggle with constipation, but I think I have found my solution:1 stool softener in the am.
1 calcium oxide in the middle of the day
1 stool softener in the evening.
It seems to work, but sometimes I still have to put some effort into going. I might try adding either a dose of Miralax in the evening, or upping the calcium oxide. Otherwise, I think I'm close to finding my solution to this problem. It is no fun!
I started dating Paul in October of 2009, and he is the love of my life. I feel like I have met my soul-mate. I adore this man, he is very good to me and I am so lucky to have found him. He is very supportive of my new lifestyle, and I have gotten to where I'm not self-conscious about the extra skin in front of him. In case you are wondering, the body looks much better clothed than naked! There will definitely be some plastic surgery in my future!
