Well it has been a while since I have been here. How is everyone doing? I am doing great! My weight loss has been slow but steady. I am down to 206.4 lbs. I have started going to the gym. I am still eating between 3-4 oz. per meal. I consider it a huge success if I get to eat the whole 4 ounces. I cannot do any of the protein drinks....I have spent a fortune on different ones!

I turned 40 this month! woo hoo! I am going to have the best life ever! the surgery is soooo worth it! I do not regret it for one minute. My hubby gave me the best compliment when he said my clothes are falling off of me...and that he has noticed when he snuggles up next to me at night he is worried he will crush me. I guess what I am saying is I am happy.

Congrats, we've missed you! I'm glad its going well for you. Life is just beginning for you now! Happy Birthday to you too! My birthday is next Friday, you are just a baby to me. I will be 57. I have to say, this year will be like none other, I'm a whole lot smaller now than I have been in over 25 years.

Congrats on your accomplishments Maria. It is a wonderful to have so much confidence and positivity about life after so long allowing weight to hold us back. As hard as the "head game" is at times around eating and food I can deal with it as every other area in life are so improved!

Let your body tell you when you can tolerate the protein shakes and keep trying and don't get discouraged. I was not able to tolerate any protein supplements as well for the last 3 months no matter how hard I tried. Every week I would try and not tolerate it and would feel discouraged. After now 3 1/2 months when I tried powder last week in my yogurt I had no issues and tolerated it fine. Since then I have taken the two scoops and 2 Greek yogurts a day (76-80 grams) the weight is falling off....so far almost 25 lbs in only 10 days!!! That is the only change I have made to my eating and activity so I am a believer. So my advice is to keep trying every week and eventually something will click, until then do not stress!!
