So here I sit evaluating my first almost year. It's been an experience. I wonder how many people gain their weight back. I'm getting the impression that quite a few people gain their weight back. This is bit of a concern for me since I haven't exercised the way I really need to.
I want to do some weight training. I have a fear of getting an hernia if I overdo it. I don't want to go thru that; I'm not sure if that's a rational fear or just an excuse.
We are approaching the time of year where people are benevolent and considering the economy, I hope and pray that people in need are really blessed.
In the past couple of days, I've run into previous co-workers that I have not seen in years. The funny thing is that they see me and recognize me before I even see them. They are really impressed with my weight lost. Since I work from home, many of my co-workers have no clue what I look like.
I still can't believer that I wear medium size shirts/tops/sweaters and size 10 pants. I weight 152 lbs. I'm happy about that but I still am struggling to get all of my protein in. I HATE PROTEIN SHAKES. PERIOD. There are many who said they eat enough protein. I only need 67 grams a day; I should be able to eat that but I'm not quite there....well that's all for now.
I'll write again soon.

Lisa, just wanted to comment on the weight re-gain issue. I think regain for DS folks is very different than potential regain for other surgeries. I've never heard of or seen a DSer who regained all their weight, I've heard gains of 10-20%, but you'd really have to work hard at regaining 20% of your weight back and by that I mean the only way I can see that happening is drinking a lot of sugary drinks and eating A LOT of carbs for quite some time. I just don't see anyone gaining all their weight back if they get their protein in and watch the carbs. I think you'll be fine.
