Rachel- What got you off track and how did you get back on? I am currently struggling with carb craving.....and eating!

Hi Originally from western Pennsylvania. Have lived in DC, San Francisco, Hawaii, then in Maine for 30+ years. Retired from nursing 3 years ago, then moved to eastern PA. Have 3 grown children and 2 fur balls---a cat and a type A domineering Yorkie. I had RNY 2 years ago---wish I had done it years ago!!! I love my new…

Saw the nutritionist, chatted about goals and I said I would like to lose about 5 more pounds. She said, "Uh...I really don't want to see you lose any more than thatall of your values are now within normal guidelines!" Really? What wonderful words to hear!!

Yep, I too, am guilty. When we went on vacation a few months ago, I was scale-less and it made me a bit anxious. (Also forgot my food scale...... ) Although I missed my weigh-ins, I just toughed it out. Was very happy to get to the scale when we got home and was amazed I lost 2 lbs. while away. You have done such a…

If you are getting your protein religiously, taking biotin, using anti-shed shampoo, you are doing all you can. My stylist recommended head massage, but I didn't do it routinely, so can't say if it would help or not. My advice is to hang in there--change your hairstyle, wear different makeup--whatever it takes to make you…

What a wonderful feeling to go from the sidelines to the middle of the action! Congratulations!

Happy Anniversary! Congratulations for a successful year and bright future.

My staples include : cottage and ricotta cheeses, egg beaters, deli meats and low fat swiss cheese and baked egg custard. Fish is a frequent choice, meat can be a bit "iffy"----chicken is only acceptable if fresh and super moist, pork if pulled and lots of sauce, beef in small amounts only. Always carry protein bars in my…

How wonderful you are doing this seminar. Gee, there are so many ugly memories-- -Getting on planes and worrying about walking up the aisle, who would be sitting next to me and if I would fit into the seat, and of course, the seat belt dilemma---would I be able to get it around me or would I need to ask for an extension?…

Congrats! What a wonderful feeling!

Sugery: RNY 2/28/12 I originally wanted to have a vertical sleeve, but my insurance wouldn't cover. After a long discussion with the surgeon and team, became comfortable with RNY. When I left the hospital I was no longer a type II diabetic, within a week no longer needed the C-PAP, and am no longer in need of several BP…

I know what you are saying...the elusive self satisfaction peacefulness. I am wondering what it would take to make you happy with your loss and remarkable achievments in getting there. Does the mirror not match your imagined image maybe? Is it a let-down after the high of accomplishing your weight goal? Do you think we…

Welcome and congratulations! That's an amazing loss. Good luck on your journey.

Welcome! My advice would be to use the prep time well. Become an educational sponge and absorb all the knowledge your team will give you. Start all the healthy habits NOW that you will be using after surgery. No fluids 30 minutes before and after eating; practice slow eating and chew, chew, chew; stop drinking soda and…

Amen!!

I agree with the other posters in saying that everyone is so different in their reactions to foods. Also wanted to mention the word "full." When I heard the word "full" I thought of my pre surgery sense of "full' which occurred after consuming large amounts of food in a short time and the result was perhaps better stated…

I started to experience symptoms several weeks ago ad I am 9 months out. They seemed to initially occur a few hours after I ate higher carbs than usual--like wonder slim hotcakes. I have been hoping to control with dietary adherence, but I seem to be getting them with more frequency. During a couple of episodes, I checked…

We will have a smaller than usual group this year and have decided to do "the basics." I have adapted many recipes to be a lower fat/ cal version (evaporated fat free milk is great in mashed potato) and will REALLY concentrate on portion control. Everyone now leaves our house with goodie bags when there are leftovers and…
