How much should I be eating after weight loss surgery?
I love this article. I am almost two years out and do feel like I was pushing my sleeve a little too much. I am going to watch closely how much food I placed on my plates.

scale drama
almost 2yrs out, and the scale is still my biggest challenge lol Sometimes I am in total control, only weighing myself once a week. And then, the obsession will kick in and I am on it 2/3x a day!! But my life is so much easier when I stay off of it, and keep doing the right thing food wise.

I have to say, this new layout seems to make people less interactive . I remember in the past, members used to read each other's blog and left COMMENTS. Now it seems cold and distant. The whole vibe is difference. But it is still nice to see a few do take time to reply to posts, answer questions and show support. God bless. Show some love people!!!

Finally at Onerland! Man does it feel good:)
I have been missing for a while! But I am back. Glad to see that most of my friends are still around and doing well. What a journey. My dad passed away( cancer), two months later my brother was shot while breaking a fight, and I miscarried my baby two day after his death. It was just too much. But, if it was not for my wls, you best beleive that life handed EVERY reason to stuff my face. I THANK GOD that I was sleeved. I had to find healthy ways to cop with all the emotions that came rushing at me for months. My sisters, husband, and friends came me going. I can honestly say, I made it. Now, things are looking better. Got a small promotion at work. And today I weigh in at 199.2 LBS!!!!! from 348 lbs. I am loving life. I am grateful for life and for the people around me. I am keeping my stress level low. No drama here. Will not allow it. Period. Later friends.
