Greetings! I am happy to say that my wt loss is continuing to progress. I've lost 110lb since my surgery 7/20/09 (actually, that includes pre-op diet), but regardless, I'm only 20lb away from my goal. I'm really finding that sugar impedes my wt loss dramatically, so am re-focusing on whole foods, veggies and meats mostly. I will say that over the last few months I have become a HUGE fan of Muscle Milk and have at least one per day, two if I'm being good. No PBing and sometimes band irritation, but it passes in a day or two. I can't expect to have zero pain with a plastic zip tie cinched around my stomach. My only other real news is that I was diagnosed with uterine cancer at the end of Feb 2010, related to my previous obesity and PCOS. A shock really (esp at 31yo) and very sad as I have not yet had any children. But I'm working through it and doing my best to remain positive. I'm also trying to stay away from refined foods for cancer health. It's finally warm here again, 95 degrees I think and I have to say I'm ok to say goodbye to the snow for now. So hope you are all doing well out there in the interweb. Until next time.

I hate that for you, I hope the cancer can be treated the least invasive way possible. On a lighter note, I did notice that your BMI has entered the normal range! Congratulations. I hope that last 20 just melts away for you.

I will be praying for you. Your attitude is amazing. I had breast cancer two years ago. I know it is tough but you will make it through. If you need support just post.

Proud for your weight loss and praying for you, Cancer Sucks!
