    From Russia with love.

    I'm thinking of you and sending you light and love. Losing my Daddy was one of the hardest things I've ever experienced. You won't be the same person afterwards, but there is another side. Hang on until you get there. Wishing y many many happy memories of this all-important man and the love and...

    Sunday Weigh In (10/19/2014)

    I seem to be holding steady at 109ish, despite a week of vacationing and walking everywhere in Orlando. That's a BMI of 18.1 -- while it's slightly below normal it's not way low. I'd really like to gain about 10-15 pounds back. I've got a referral to an endo and hopefully he can help me get to...

    Confession time! Need help getting back into Atkins

    It took me 18 months to get to my final low (well, I actually started losing again recently but it wasn't a welcome loss). Don't worry about a weight-loss window! What about veggies for crunch - raw carrots or celery with a high fat, cheesy dip?

    Sunday Weigh In (9/14/2014)

    Well, I did it. Slipped into an underweight BMI. 109. Ugh. Never thought I'd have to worry about this. Pounding back the protein shakes and eating whatever I can get down.

    Here I go...

    Terri, Your story sounds similar to mine except it took me much longer to tolerate water - like a year! I still don't do very well with it. I was also nauseated for the first 6 weeks or so. I'm so glad to hear that you're feeling like you've turned the corner now -- congratulations on your...

    yogurt survey

    I avoided everything with sweetners at first while I was losing. I mostly ate the Fage 2% with the add-ins and would add them sparingly. Now that I don't care (and would like to gain a few pounds honestly), I'm eating Yoplait Greek tangerine. My family likes the Yoplait Greek 100 Strawberry...

    Here's his price list: http://www.medicaltourism.com.mx/mtpl.html I have heard, however, that he will adjust prices if you have multiple procedures.

    Kirmy, DAMMIT!!!

    Dr. Sauceda in Monterrey is used by many many WLS patients. His website is here: http://www.medicaltourism.com.mx/mtad.html He has a board on obesity help and lots of people rave over him. I am still researching myself so this isn't personal experience. However, I know a lot of people who have...

    Halloumi cheese?

    I like Halloumi browned in a skillet and then eaten with salsa, guacamole, & sour cream. I also use it to make a grilled cheese sandwich, like it's bread. I haven't eaten it in a while, but I ate it a lot when I was in my losing phase.

    Bless you. At this point, I think this falls under the category of 'Let it Go'

    Sunday Weigh In (08/03/2014)

    I'm waiting on my labs to get back now. The weight loss started when I hurt my back. Hopefully I can get it back up again.

    Sunday Weigh In (08/03/2014)

    So, I keep going down. 115.5 this morning. I know I shouldn't worry since I'm not below a normal BMI (less than 110), but it seems so weird that I stayed steady around 130 for 3 years and now all of the sudden I've lost around 15 pounds. That's a lot at my size! I'm eating, I swear --...

    May I have a bit of a pity party?

    @Terri I had exactly the same starting weight as you. At one month out, I had lost 22 pounds. At two months out, I had lost 37. Pretty close to your results, huh? This afternoon when I got home from vacation, I weighed 117.5 Don't fret, honey! It's happening for you! :)

    84 degrees here in Myrtle Beach, SC. Much much cooler than yesterday - high of 93, I think.

    Sunday Weigh In (7/27/2014)

    I'm at the beach so no scale here, but I'm still trying to gain (how weird is that!) Before we left home, I was down to 118 (I lost about 8 pounds after my back injury). I'd really like to be back in the high 120's. This is a freaking mind trip for sure! I always hated people who talked like...

    My Big Fat HAPPY Wedding

    OH, so young (age 21) but OH so happy! :) This is my family (Daddy, Mama, & brother) with me & my husband. For a long time, my mom & I jokingly called this picture "the short fat family and Sam" (my husband). Now he weighs 70 pounds more than me. I dream of a do-over only because when we went...
