I have started thinking about counseling, my self sabotage, I know I am doing it.

Beni emailed me this morning with a question and I realized how much i miss all you guys. I have been off track too since my tummy tuck and returning to work, up 9 pounds from my low, though Dr says some could still be swelling, but it's all in my derriere, that not all swelling, it's Andersons pnut butter filled pretzel bites. I'm addicted and they don't sell in single servings. Argh. I was good today and will be again, tomorrow, one day at a time.

Hello everyone, sorry have been so neglectful of this wonderful group, Hope everyone is doing well. I have big news, I got my tummy tuck, breast augmentation and a mini arm lift. Thanks to my mother and part of my inheritance. I had it about 5 weeks ago. I will attach a couple pictures. I am still healing and got a ways to go, but damn, having that flap gone is AWESOME!!! Had my one year followup and my bypass surgeon wanted me to wait, said I might lose another ten pounds. No way, I am feeling too thin now, and can eat enough to maintain my weight, or more honestly, I make sure I eat only enough to maintain my weight, I could eat more, if I wanted/needed to. So went ahead and had the tummy tuck. Bought my first bikini since I was about 6 years old. so HOT DAMN.

Told to up calories, with my height its still low, bout 1200, I got to get back to tracking my food thou, been a crazy whirlwind couple months.

Hit and passed doctor's goal of 110, went on maintenance and promptly gain 4 pounds. Backing off that maintenance a bit, see what happens. Hope everyone is doing well.

Hey all, I had a plastic surgery consult and am looking at doing surgery 10/15 to get rid of the excess belly skin. Woot woot Congrats on everyones successes.

Trying a new look, what do you think?

Ok so today I have officially lost half ot my starting weight, I started at 225, now weigh 112.4 holy cow, there used to be two of me.

I have a friend that is about 95 to 98 pounds, she claims she could not stop losing, though I know there are other factors, she doesn't take her vitamins, doesnt get her protein, etc. But when I lost and was not expecting to it freaked me out, but as ling as I know I am getting my vitamins, protein etc. I should be ok and its my body doing its job.

Hello everyone, finally back home after my mom's memorial service. So glad to b out of that environment with my morphine stealing brother, family says its my word against his, since there is no proof. WTF. I left and they can put their enabling blinders back on. Im a little freaked because I overate, and grazed stealing bites of stuff and came home having lost more weight. 114.8 yesterday morning. Ate more yesterday but healthy food. See how things go. My labs were good at 6 months, but have been missing vitamins here and there, not a lot but some. I am worried that I might be one who can not stop losing. My doc had siad he wanted me to get to 110 before going on maintenance so maybe my body agrees with him, though I really dont want to lose any more. My face is so thin, the wrinkles from my previously fat cheeks are too much. thats why the last 4 pounds have me freaked, and it was in the last month, im afraid to tell my friends that I lost more weight at this point.

Wtg Beni, and everyone else on all their hard work. Anyone interested in doing a quick roll call check in and see what we hqve lost as the "October 2014" group? Total loss of 107 here

Lost my mom Thursday, She passed peacefully while I held her hand and told her I loved her. It was a long 5 months since she was diagnosed. I realize I have a lot of mourning to do, but i am back home in GA, ready to get back on plan and lose that last 10, the dr wants me to.

Mom and I on her last good day, Wednesday.

Hey group, been a bit, taking care of mom in DC, wont be long now. Her friends keep bringing treats, candied pecans mmm badddd. I had someone put them on a high shelf outa reach. Finally dropped another 1.5 pounds, hadn't lost in 3 weeks. Working towards my dr's goal of 110, 8 pounds to go. I dont like how thin my face is, but realize I prolly won't stay thos thin based on statistics so try not to worry. Sometimes I think about ignoring my dr's goal, but he is the expert and he gave me the tool that got me here so...

@@Beni keep that chin up, it will come off, keep doin what you do. Working at the beach this weekend, had to get a suit, got two not sure why it turns my pictures sideways.

@pinkpolkadot, CONGRATULATIONS, AWESOME, NORMAL BMI BEST THING EVER!!!!

Had my six.month follow up today, 119.5 pounds, hit my personal goal of 119, he says go 10 more pounds before I go on maintenance. WOOT WOOT!!!!

Packed up 5 bags of clothes for good will. Went from 24 to a Size 4 pants and a 46C to a 36B.

For the first time in my life...

I have been partaking since 2 weeks post op. And up to two weeks before the surgery. I lost 50 pounds preop, while smoking and 50 post op, while smoking. I normally have a treat planned for my evening snack, the no sugar added fudgecicles or sugar free dark chocolate pudding, so I plan for possible munchies, most times I dont notice munchies though, depends on the strain of marijuana. Hope that helps.
