    Hot & Cold

    I'm over a year and a half out since surgery.....I'm cold all the time.....it started for me after I lost about 50 lbs......and it still continues. I just wear warmer clothes now and it's not a problem. As for the hot flashes, My Reg Dr put me on the pill and I have NO more of those....woohoo best of luck to all!
  3. I'm 49, 5'3 tall , i'm 16 months out, I have to say, I don't count calories, I count Protein. I still try to get in 60 to 80 grams of protein daily. I havent gained weight, I have maintained for the last 9 months and it's a piece of cake as long as you don't go back to the bad eating habbits. Eat the right foods and it will be no problem. best of luck to you all.
  4. I was a "low" BMI, I was a 34.7 and 196 lbs when I had this surgery. I had the surgery in May of 2011, in the first 3 months, I think I lost about 45 lbs. It's been a little over a year now for me, and i'm maintaining my weight loss with no problem as long as I stick to the new way of eating. My current BMI is 20.5 and im at 116 lbs. Good Luck! Donna

  7. Everyone loses at a different pace......it's not a contest.. Just follow yout dr's plan, stay away from all foods that have no Protein value, excersize, excersize, and when yout tired, excersize some more.....it will come off.....If you lose too fast, you may expercience exessive hair loss, and none of us want that.....lol Be patient, follow the plan, and it will happen. Congrats on the loss so far.

    Things To Eat Through The Day

    I love Cottage cheese, stirng cheese, cheese curds, vegetarion refried Beans w/ cheese, muscle milk, etc....and my Dr's office sells many items that are high in Protein and just right for us to eat-snack on, or drink. Check and see if your dr's office sells anything.....The items I get from them are even higher in protein than I can get over the counter items at a reg grocery store. Good Luck

    14 Months Out W/ Pictures

    Ty, I truley hate my "fat" pictures, but, they are so important for me to see. my secret is simple, even though I've lost all my weight, I still follow the diet, don't allow myself to eat any of the old foods that I used to love. If I want to maintain this weight, i can't allow it in my life anymore...period! no soda, no breads, no Pasta, no pre packaged foods, no chips, candy, popcorn, etc. I still stick to my Protein diet of between 60 and 80 grams per day, and tons of water! (thank-you Crystal light on the go packets)....my arms look amazing cause I excersize at least 3 x per week, often 5 days. (I went garage saling and purchesed equipment I can have at home cause I knew myself enough to know, I'd never make it to the gym...lol) as for my skin....ummm, well, I've always used Mary Kay moisturizer cream for the last 20 years on my face....and I do spend probably too much time in the sun...lol...which i'm sure I'll pay for that later in life.
