    Great! Haven't gained weight yet but I can see how it could happen very easily! My appetite is horrendous and my choices aren't always the best. I am going to check it out! Thanks.

    Oh my god, you guys are 165 twins! What are the odds of that?

    Great job, both of you. I'm just starting to work on maintenance, and regain is what worries me most. Keep teacking OP, and I'm sure you will bounce right back.

    Good for you for stopping at 10 pounds. I am almost 5 years out from my RNY. At the 2 year mark I also gained 10 pounds and lost it. It's much easier to lose 10 pounds than 50. So many of us gain a ton the further we get out from surgery. We MUST stay diligent!!

    I do like this one except the "don't drink your calories". My daily breakfast is my protein powder in my morning cuppa.
