Hello fellow veterans,

Ooh. It feels good to be a veteran! Hello! Hello! Just wanted to say "hey". I've been away for a while. All is well and I am still loving the fact that I made this decision.

Hope all of you are still kicking butt.

BEST,

Congrats on your weight loss. It looks like we were sleeved on the same day. I just celebrated my 1 year surgerversary yesterday too. And had my 1 year check up yesterday as well.

Maintenance so far has been fine. I still don't own a scale--don't believe in daily weight checks. I see my dietician and doctors regularly and always insist on "weighing in". Otherwise, tracking on MFP and the way my clothes feel works well for me. I have found my dietician and my surgeon sometimes disagree slightly. I had my 1 year checkup with my surgeon today, and she tells me 900-1100 calories is still a good goal for me. My dietician would rather see me eat 1500 calories, but has less experience with WLS. I am trying to keep the floodgates closed, so I only occasionally have a cookie, or a piece of toast. I would like to work my way up to 5-6 servings of fruit and veggies again, but it is challenging, given my sleeve.
