I am just about a year out and i stll get the gurgles in my throat....i take an antacid...weird, huh?
-
I am at 185-ish right now and i am 5'8"..so i was thinking another 10-15 pounds? According to those stupid BMI charts, in order for me to be at at a normal weight, i should weigh 164! Way too low! So i think my "goal" is 170-175..good?

I am days away from my one year anniversary and i have lost only 68 pounds post op (85 total) i know that i will never see those pounds again and i an happy about that...and i am the smallest i've been in about 20 years, i am wearing a size 12 pant and medium top...and happy about that...but i thought by a year i would be MUCH farther along...

Seeing a size 10 for the first time EVER!!

I use Dreamfields low carb pasta...i eat maybe a 1/4 cup and that satisfies my pasta craving!

I LOVE the Special K Protein! One serving has 10 grams of protein and when you add 1/2 cup of mil you have about 15 grams of protein for breakfast! Very low carb too!
