Hi, I haven't been on this site in a long time and finally found it again and yes couldn't remember my password. I am 2 years and 4 months out since my surgery. I started at 309 and am now 154. I feel great and am happy with everything to do with the surgery. I am maintaining my weight loss but am having a problem with over-eating. I know I am eating more than I should at a meal and am trying to get back on track. I haven't gained anything , but am scared that I might start. I never want to go back to being obese. I am starting to write everything down that I put in my mouth..that helps. I find that I finish whatever I make for a meal even though I know when I am full and should stop..I hope I can overcome this practice. How are you doing and have you reached your goal? I just need someone to talk to about this. I think anyone who didn't have the surgery, doesn't understand. Contact me, OK.

here is my email: dashundmommy@hotmail.com

I really have to put my foot down so that I don't cheat. I'm about 5 lbs from goal now so I'm trying to get more into the maintaining state of mind then losing. I figure if my body wants me to lose more it will but I just want to concentrate on maintaining. Your doing great on your weight loss and if you need any information or just someone to chat with I'm all ears!!! Good luck on your journey and your upcoming move.

Hi. Welcome to the forum. In the blue tabs above where I'm posting there is a tab that says "blog" and that is where you can write your own blogs. To post your profile pic it's an option in your User CP. It's under edit profile. As for tips for losing weight. My main help was dumping to be honest. I dump very easily which is actually nice. I can't cheat (for the most part) because I will get sick. I'm very good at trying to get in my 65g of protein a day. I eat a lot of baby babel cheese and cottage cheese (for more flavor I add sugar free canned peaches to my cottage cheese). And I make sure that I don't drink a half hour before and after my meals. I can't handle protein shakes so I drink slimfast shakes once a day. For some reason even though I can handle all cheeses sometimes milk will make me dump so I'm not sure if I'm lactose intolerant or not? I am finding now that I'm 9 months out I don't dump quite as much so now the mental part really begins.

My husband is in the army and we move around a lot. We were in WA before hawaii and I like but it just rains to much there for me... I love every day here but we will be leaving soon and moving to TN!!! How are you? So it look me so long but i lost the website and it took me a while to find it again and then to remember my password... Weight loss has made me lost my mind too... Dana
