Newbie from the OH family!

Hi! My name is Tammy. I'm a 37 year old mom of three and part time pastry chef. I know, I know!!! Challenges abound for me:) I recognize several people from OH here - yay!

Next week is my 1 year surgiversary and I am so happy I had the sleeve! I still need to lose about 25 lbs to be at the weight I'd like to be but I have been so happy to have lost 61 lbs so far. I have let myself get into some of my old habits of not tracking what I eat and I do struggle with my carb intake.

Professionally my cake business has been booming and some really great opportunities are before me but it's meant lots of recipe testing and tons of baking and I have yet to find the balance I need with my body's needs vs my work.

In January I got down to 176 and bounced back a few pounds but have now remained at a steady weight for about 4 months. I eat pretty freely. It's past time for me to step BACK up to the plate and renew my commitment to exercise and making better food choices. I am excited to continue my journey here with my fellow sleevers!

Blessings,

Tammy

Welcome and thank you for posting! Congratulations on your professional and personal successes. As a "recreational" baker, I feel your pain. LOL.

Welcome to the forum!

I'm always impressed when people know what to do with those big computers in the kitchen, you know.... the things that get really hot. ;o)

Congrats on your weight loss!

I've been doing more cooking and baking since my WLS. It's part of my effort to take control of my food choices.

Oddly, I don't particularly want to eat any of it. Just the act of creating it seems to be enough for me.

Welcome to the forum.

WASa ... I always tell people that yes, I have a kitchen, it came with my condo! I got all that cooking/backing out of my system when I was married and raising children ... liked it then. Didn't miss it at all after my divorce and still don't. Luckily, Bob enjoys cooking

I would never make it if I baked for a living. Sweets are my big downfall.

Glad you found us!

My favorite new show is on TLC, I think. It has Buddy the Baker. I think it is called something like Buddy the boss or something like that. They are magicians with cake decorating. It is fascinating. It is so creative and that is how I look at it. I'm not even wanting the cake I just love watching them.
