Dear Larraine,
Welcome to the network! You have come a long way in a short time. So happy for you!
Warm regards,
Katie
Hello! My name is Larraine and I live - at least for now - in NE Maryland. I am presently unemployed. Am currently pursuing interests in photography, writing, digital collage and scrapbooking. In May of 2008, I made the decision to have weight loss…
Best wishes for your surgery. Let us know how you're doing, Scott.

Katie's Daily Menu
Yes! You read it correctly. I am going to post my daily menus here. I am eating on a low-carb plan, so feel free to comment and ask questions. I am using the Atkins plan -- not dieting, just keeping my blood sugar stable to ward off the carb cravings I was having 24/7.
First, I did the Atkins Induction to detox from sugar and refined carbs, and now I am slowly adding back carbs (5g per week) to see what amount and types of carbs trigger cravings.
It's been an interesting journey. I've lost 10… Continue

- Hi Katie!
thought I'd update you on my progress. My colonoscopy and endoscopy came out clear! Don't have to do that for another 10 years! The very next day I had a large kidney stone causing pain. Went in and had surgery to have it blasted to pieces because the pain meds weren't helping. Glad to say, I'm feeling much better. Still tired and working on the iron deficiency. Been following a high protein diet and actually losing weight again! I go back in two weeks for a followup with blood tests for my surgeon and nutritionist.
Hope all is well with you! Chris

- Hi Katie! I am taking Ferrogon (Gluconate 325 mcg) and two prenatal iron tablets as well. I'm also on a strict protein diet. Good news is I'm losing weight. Bad news is I'm losing too fast. My system does not tolerate all the protein well. (I either am constipated and sick or have diarreah...doesn't seem to be any inbetween) This doesn't make me feel well either, I must say! I have to go for a colonoscopy and endoscopy on the 15th. I go back to my surgeon May 5. I'll keep you posted. I just got the Protein Power book, so I'm looking forward to reading that.

- Thank you for the welcome to the sight. I believe I heard that you may be the speaker at our support groups 3rd annual WLS reunion in September. I'm looking forward to hearing from you in person.

- Katie, your retreats sound wonderful. Are they mostly for GBS or Lapband patients. Which did you have?

I cannot think of a better way to connect than with those who share this experience with me. I am thrilled to be here!

- Thank you, Katie. My sister had gatric bypass surgery yesterday and I joined NAWLS in an effort to learn ways that I can support her. I'm very proud of her and admire her courage on this journey.

Jill Campbell said… - Hi Katie, I'm happy to be here.I had lap band surgery 1 year and 9 months ago. I've lost 68lbs so far but I've been stuck here for about 3 months now. I'm looking forward to the support I hope to receive from this group.
