Hi Zulma, thanks for your comment.
I know how you feel and I'm hear to tell you, it gets better. Everybody gets back to 'normal' foods differently...took me about 2-3 months but I can eat pretty much whatever I want now. This time is the best time for you to focus on YOU and your body, don't sweat the small stuff.
Brad I can't seem to log onto the Gastric Bypass Community site with Ning. Everytime I try it tells me to enter in my "Master Key"... I don't know what the Master Key is... I don't remember ever setting one up. The email address i used when I first joined the community website was normah1217@charter.net I no longer have an internet account with charter so I'm hitting a brick wall. It tells me it is sending a link to that email address which I can't access. My new email address is norma_j_1962@yahoo.com If you can help me out i'd appreciate it. I was able to log onto the Ning site with no problem until today.

Hi Norma, I can't do anything about your login, I don't control that part of it. Just make sure to use your old email address to get in and then go into your settings and update it to the new email address afterwards.
FYI, tried to send to your new Yahoo address and got an email failure. Hope you see this message!

Hi Brad.... I tried for two days to make the simple email address change on the Ning site under "settings".... I'd find where it shows the email address and password..... and "change" next to each... when I'd click on "change" it would then rout me to a page that asked me to enter my "Master Key"... which i don't know... I'd click on "i don't know Master Key" and then a msg would post stating they emailed me the Master Key to the charter.net email account. I can't access charter.net as I no longer use them for my internet connection so it was just a lost cause. Tonight I just rejoined the group as a "new member" and used my current email address norma_j_1962@yahoo.com so when you have the time you can just delete out my original membership. I'll re-post my pics showing my "before & after" etc.... Sorry for the confusion.... I'm still not sure what happened. Thanks for the help on this. Norma

Hey Brad,
Don't worry about plateaus - we all hit them. I'm about 50 lbs from goal and just up'ed my exercise levels to try and race to the finish. I hit a plateau a few months ago and realized that I'd just been going out a bit too much ... restarants pack on the calories, even when you're only eating a teeny bit.
I just started a new workout challenge on Gyminee and I've lost 5 lbs this week. I'll be sure to add you so you can check it out as well.
In the meantime - best of luck to you. I'm down over 150 lbs and determined to get down to 130 by summer.
