@@NewLife'sGr8 Wow that sounds fantastic. I like savory foods...I'm trying this. Thanks

The pancake recipe above is not my normal Breakfast. It's a hit the craving and get it out of the way for me. I use my own Protein powder. I add as much as I like...I also use sugar free maple syrup My normal is egg whites. Prosciutto (paper thin Italian bacon) and asparagus. or a light and fit Carmel Apple pie geek yogurt. Has little pieces of apple. So good.

@@VSGAnn2014 Love my Gym. They are owned by the city parks and recreation. They offer so much. I'm snow shoeing this winter! I can't ski ( I have no balance lol) So this is something I can do. I will post more pictures of that as well.

@@Rogofulm Awe Thanks. everyone is doing fantastic! Keeps me going:)

@@proudgrammy Kathy, I'd invite you anytime. You are the life of the party. No party for me. The kayaking was my big thing this year. I was not even tempted with cake what a change.

@@jessiquoi Yes get a new one. I never knew that Kayaking was so fun. How long have you been Kayaking?

@@nprcowboy Where do you plan to Kayak? I'm working up to the river and the lake. I have some friends that do saltwater in Washington State. I might get that way in the summer.

Fantastic~ Love to hear from people a year or more out. Keeps me motivated. You have done great. Keep us updated please.

oh yeah..learning to Kayak.

Oh yes! I can relate. I had to laugh. Love your post. My new mattress will be delivered this weekend. Mine sags where I sleep from my higher weight. I just don't get a good nights rest on it. I hope this one will last while I'm getting to my goal.

many post on this topic. The product I use is Topix..you can search for it online to see what its about. I hope you find what works for you

@@Jessiegirl30 Oh wow! Congrats What have you been doing to get such great results? Can you get the dress altered by a tailor/seamstress?

Weight loss or attitude. I believe it's both. Employers see a confident healthy candidate. A person that would represent their organization well within the working world and outwardly to the public. It is society's perceptions. Unfortunately most of us have been marginalized because of weight issues. I'm 5 months out. I have placed a few applications out for employment. Funny, I'm looking forward to interviews for the first time in my life. I need a fresh start where people don't know I was morbidly obese. Crossing my fingers for a new career.

I wish I would have known that you can go to your local barbaric support groups pre surgery.. Many other people in the same situation. I really could have used the support and information when I was loosing weight for insurance approval. I agree with @Kindle. Behaviors that have gotten us to the point of having weight loss surgery must be dealt with. I hope you find what work's for you. Jenn

@@hamitchell Wonderful! I love to hear about others that have had success with surgery and getting their diabetes controlled. The health benefits are amazing. Thanks for sharing

Thanks. Hope all goes well for you. Keep us posted.

Ok changed it..Whew~

Today 160 - Lost 23 Looking forward to the Holiday challenge

@ Oooh..Ok, Let me explain I have lost 78 from surgery and 94 from my highest weight. Did not mean to mislead anyone. It's just the way I'm tracking.

Hi there, I'm a type one. I'm almost 5 months out from surgery. My A1C is a 5.9. Diabetes is well controlled. Work with your Dr,'s and Dieticians. Each of us will experience WLS and diabetes differently. I used two types of insulin before surgery. I'm now taking one at a much lower dose. I am experiencing lows. My dietician has added carbohydrates to every meal. I eat my Protein first and a small bite of potato. I work out about an hour and a half six days a week. I now eat a small amount of carb's before and after I work out. It has kept the lows away. If my blood sugar drops rapidly I drink watered down orange juice or a glucose tab. My family Dr. is amazed at what this surgery has done for my health.

So glad you started this post. Fantastic to see everyone is doing great~ Well done all. Sleeved June 2nd 2014. Down 78 pounds from surgery. Down 94 from my highest weight. Diabetes type 1 well controlled use very little insulin. Cpap is going to be evaluated in Nov to see if I need it any more. Off cholesterol med's. Living life! I'm so thankful.
