Tinman- Fair enough.

I do think you can lose by eating what you want (smaller portions) and whatever your body can tolerate. I'm not saying I'll never eat a carb again. I do not believe it's realistic to say I won't. ...

I appreciate your post Tinman, there are some good points in there. Congratulations on your continued success. However, I believe that everyone is different, and there are no absolute formulas that...

Great Job Heather!! I think he's just going of his statistic sheet. I've been going to a lot of groups/forums online. I maintained my weight for a while, even though I never got down to my goal, I...

Well, the 24th of this month marks my 3rd surgiversary. I started at 252 and I had gotten down to 168. I never made my goal 135. I hate exercise so, I really never would much. I did hire a personal...

I am sorry to hear of your issues but I'm glad you have sought help.

My clinic actually did inform me of the possibilities of trading one addiction for another. For some it's alcohol, for others...

I am almost 2 years out. Is a whole sushi roll, a lot for your sleeve to hold? I used to not be able to hold this, and now I can. So far, I haven't gained anything back, but I'm afraid my stomach is...

Anyone know why Msvtrn (Chrissy) got banned? She was always very inspirational to me. I haven't been on in a while and came on and saw she was missing. I looked her up and saw she was banned. Is...

Thank you all!

It is such an amazing feeling when I can pick up an article of clothing, that I used to view as a little kid's shirt or pants, think that it wouldn't fit me, and be able to wear it. Can I get a high...

You are a beautiful, amazing person, and I get so much inspiration from your posts. We all have our "bad" days, weeks or sometimes even longer. The positive thing is that we learn from them. I...

Here's a 3-2-1 recipe, from a friend I have in weight watchers, for a little treat.

3 Tbs. of Cake Mix
2 Tbs. of water
1 Minute in the Microwave
Top with Cool Whip (if desired)

Enjoy!!

You look amazing!! You should be very proud of all your accomplishments!

I'm almost six months out. I've never really measured how much I eat but it's about the quantity of a boiled egg. How much is everyone else eating? I'd like to know how many ounces are too much, so I...

I crave Diet Pepsi all the time. I will not allow myself to have it though. I know it would just be the beginning of opening Pandora's box.

That stinks. I totally understand where you are coming from and I am only going on my 6th month. I believe this will be a lifelong struggle for us.

I think they do it for statistic purposes as well. So that they can track what is going on with people that have had it done. We all want those stats in the beginning. My follow-ups are included...

I know that feeling. I find it helps to go and get that smaller size jeans and wash and wear them till they start getting really lose and comfortable. Then I know it's time to go down a size. It...

Great job!!! Good for you. What a great feeling!

Congratulations!! Well done Sir!

I am in the Roseburg area. I had Tersigni as well. He was wonderful. I would do it all again. It was the best decision I could have made for myself.

I think I'd find a new doctor.

You look absolutely fantastic! I only hope I look that good when I reach goal. I think we are all our own worst critics.

I originally thought about getting a caterpillar tattoo on my hip and once, I got to my goal weight, having it transformed into a butterfly. :-) I didn't do it, but I do want the butterfly on my...

Mine tolerates most every food I've tried except bread. I stay away from that. I also stay away from carbonation too. I miss carboned drinks.
