Well I am here! I lost a whopping 5 pounds last week and now weigh. . . 197 pounds! 
I don't remember the last time I weighed this little. Maybe 8th grade.
Interestingly, I'm in the middle of a little personal experiment. I just finished a week of low cal (1000 cal) but no regard for carb amounts. Tomorrow, I'm going to do 6 days of low carb, not so much worried about calories. I'm curious if carbs are the critical thing, or is it strictly calories in, calories out.

Will I ever get to Onderland?

Well, I've had my first taste of gain (1 pound) and stalling the past couple of weeks. I am at 202--it is killing me! I want to be in the 100s. I'm trying to be reasonable and remember this is part of the process--a part which I was very lucky to avoid until now! And I want to remember to be thankful for where I am and all my body does for me. But--ugh!
Interestingly, after the disappointing weigh in--I got a call from my surgeon's office. They want my pic and story to be on their website. The story--no problem. But a pic? They have some up already--lap band patients. They're very nice--they actually have a professional photo shoot to get the photos.
It's so weird spending so long hiding and now someone wants me on their website--bizarre. I'm seriously considering it. I think I will put some pics on here as a warm up.

Well, I'm 6 months out and I am finally putting information on my profile other than my screen name and cartoon avatar. I have been meaning to do it for a while--we know how that goes! I finally did it after Christmas week--I ate very poorly. At my Monday weigh-in I had gained a pound. In 6 months, this is the first time I had not lost weight. It's a hell of a reminder--I need to re-align myself with the techniques that have helped me be successful so far. High protein, logging everything I eat, staying hydrated, etc.
Additionally, I want to be more connected with the OH group. Pre-op, I found the information on here priceless. While recovering, I found OH to be a place where people could empathize with the process. Post-op, I found the group to be a source of inspiration, entertainment and accountability. Each of these things is infinitely important. I realize I have not been taking advantage of this wonderful resource when I log on and it seems as if I don't know any of the new "faces."
In the new year, I want to be more connected to my fellow WLS peeps. I want to lean on you for support and I want to be here when you need the same.
Here's to 2009!
