It's been a while since I've posted so here's an update. I'm just over 15 months since my surgery. I've lost a total of 151 lbs on a good day and about 149 on a not so good day. Actually, my weight fluctuates as much as 5 lbs depending on my activity and water retention. I'm quite happy with the progress I made. My overall weight loss basically stopped around January and I've been maintaining since then. I eat just about anything I want although I try to keep it healthy. No fast foods including pizza, Chinese or nasty deep fried stuff. I do like a little sweet every now and then along with a ****tail or two. I have indulged in some of the above mentioned "bad" foods but, rarely and in moderation.

I contribute my maintainence success to a high level of activity. I walk about 3 miles daily and cycle at least 15. Without the exercise I'm sure I would regain. However, I find I enjoy both the walking and cycling so much that they rarely feel like I'm "exercising".

I went from a size 3X shirt to a Large and very tight 52" pants to a comfortable 34". Shopping for clothing has become a joy.

I've said it before, this is the best thing I've ever done in my life. With my sleeve all I need is a little work and a little thought about what and how I eat and the rest takes care of itself.

This is freakin great!
