...I don't post over here much anymore, but I spend a lot of time over on obesityhelp.com. I Celebrate my nine month anniversary from surgery today. I can't believe it's went by so darn fast. I'm down a total of 104 pounds (16 pounds preop), and I feel great. I track my food, and I weight daily. For the most part, I concentrate on Protein and low carbs. But, I don't deprive myself of anything as I simply love food. In fact, I had half a cupcake today at a lunch, and I tracked it too! I just don't make bad choices back to back or on a consistent basis. Here's the latest before (day of surgery) and after (today!) photos.

Haven't been doing a good job of posting here. But I'm very frustrated this Monday morning. I've been hovering at 200.4 for the last week or more. I was at 203 on August 3. I am SOOOOOO wanting to see 199 on the scale. I am starting to wonder if it will ever happen! I sure hope to report back next Monday with better news, but with a trip to Las Vegas planned on Thursday, I'm not sure!

Darn it...I am stuck at work......boo!!!!! I'm doing just the opposite.....only 20 minutes or so of CONSISTENT daily exercise, but religious calorie/protein/carb counting....Still at 200.4 today.....
-
I hope to see you there. I am planning to go for inspiration as well. I'm still exercising but have not been counting cals lately. Started back today. Scale is still not moving much.
-
I was just thinking that I should go. I need the spirit. I'm holding between 200 and 201, and it's driving me crazy not to see that darn 199! Motivation would be good! I will let you know in the morning if I can go......may have to work late....

Hey Girl! Are you planning to attend this Wednesday? I think I will unless I'm just exhausted.

Awesome! I think of you often, and your success is inspirational! I can't wait to post here in December. I'm very happy with my progress thus far, and I know how you feel when it comes to living a more active life! Take care!

How often do you get on the scale?
twobluecats replied to a.walker's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
This is definitely a matter of personal opinion as the ol' scale affects us all differently. But, I weigh daily..twice to be exact. I weigh in the morning and at night. I find that I don't beat myself up if it doesn't move or fluctuates up (I know I didn't eat 3500 calories to cause a pound gain!). And, I like to start my day with a reminder of my goals. -
You are a doll to think of me. I had a wonderful birthday. I won't be in town for the meet up either. We are headed to Lake Tahoe for Easter weekend next Thursday. Busy time for us. Matt heads to Germany almost as soon as we get back, and then the two of us are going to Barcelona to catch a two week Med cruise. Yeah! I need to get another 15 pounds or so off by then. How are things with you? I haven't heard from Anna in a while.

Happy (almost) Birthday to YOU! I hope you have a spendid bday! I do not think I will be able to make the Dallas get-together on 4/3. Both of my kids are trekking to Austin for Easter, so I guess they will expect the "mom" to be around. I will be with ya'll in spirit! I hope there is another get-together in the summer. Hope you have a terrific birthday!

I wish I was going to be there! It makes me mad to think I'm gonna miss out on the fun. But, hubby and I will be at Lake Tahoe for Easter weekend. You guys have tons of fun!
-
No worries. I didn't end up going either. How are you doing? I'm doing pretty well, but VERY SLOW weight loss. And, I show I gained two this week. Not even remotely possible, but I'm battling a UTI, so that could be culprit. Depressing!!
