new journey (still weight loss) on August 20, 2011 8:29 pm
hello friends! it has been a longtime since i been on here and i am sorry, i have to be honest with myself and with everyone. yesterday i went to the doctor and i weighed 213lbs. that is a big disappointment to me. i can believe i gain this much i just didn't want to face the Truth about my eating problem. well its right there for everyone to see, i feel like a failure.. all my rules just went out the window. but today i said enough is enough. i did not have this surgery just to go back. i had this surgery to better my life. i know i have gained 43lbs and i am going to take it off, no matter how long it takes. i thought i was going to be happy at 160lbs but the Truth is i was happy at my weight i just thought i was meant to be small after this surgery, but i know losing weight doesn't make you better it just makes it you feel better about yourself.
i know there are 3 keys to be succeed,
1 .die t
2. exercise 
3. support 
if you don't have all three then it will not work, they all make it work, and i cant balm anyone for my weight gain but me, even if there was people tempting me to gain, these are the people that want me to fail. and i played right into there hands, but not anymore, i will do it this time and keep it off!

24 months post op. on April 19, 2011 10:10 am
hello all my friends! its been a along time since i post. i am sorry. thanks to my friend off here ms kerbi! i decided to post. for the last 5month i fell off track, i gained 30lbs from bad food choices and pour exercise. i knew the weight was coming i just didn't think 30lbs worth, i decided to food log again. i fell off that too. i just didn't want to know how many calories i was taking in. let just call it going in blind. i would tell myself this is the week i going to get it together,but it never happen. it is so hard to get back on track.but it has taken me this long to find my way back. its better late then never coming at all.
well i found my life plan. i would call it a diet but this is something i can stick to.
its called net 1000 calories. if i eat 1600 calories i must burn 600 . leaving my body with a net of 1000calories.
and if i don't workout at all i only eat 1000calories.
now i found out eating to many carb can stall or even make you gain weight so i am starting off with a net of 30 carbs.
and the good thing about lowering your carb i can lose fast water weight,
well let me talk about how you can eat. i don't know about everyone, i say everyone's pouch is different. i can say i can eat as must as i did before. if just not the same full feeling like before, i can drink 4oz at once so its easy to get in your fluids. but there are times when i can eat a whole lot of food 8-12oz and there are times when i can eat 4-7oz just depending of the food i choose.
well after 2years you are going to have all your calories if you had gastric bypass. and the hard work is still going to be there, if you decide to slack off well the pounds will come back, it is really true calories in calories out, its all about balancing them.
well i know i am 30lbs setback but i know with hard work and healthy eating they will come off again. well hope everyone is doing well. and if anyone want to join me add me to face book and we can do it together,
happy Easter everyone!

18 months out on August 3, 2010 8:56 am
Well today I am 18 months post op. it seem so far away when your just starting out. Well this jouney has been hard ,stressful ,depressing. But it also been a joy to be on. I would never be where I am today without the help of this tool of mine. I do sometime try new things to lose weight. But the thing is I can always go back to my new way of eating to maintain. Well I believe low carb eating is the best choice for me.
I must keep it real with you guys, I did fall off my way of eating at times. But I chose to not give up on me. So I just start over. Ever day is a chance to start over if you mess up. Ok its been 18 months and I lost 136lbs with the help of my tool. But it doesn’t stop here. I weigh 168lbs went from 385lbs at my highest weight. I would never thought I would ever get here. Well the key of success is never give up. I know its hard but you don’t want to let all your hard work go to waste. You can make it to your goal, you just got to try a little harder. Ok I plan on losing 8lbs and then I will be having a lower body lift, it going to take a while before I can get one. But that’s my plan.
Right now I am focus on weight training and building more muscle mass. Well ill come back next month to show how my progress is with that. Well everyone have a wonderful journey and a great day!

my thoughts after being 16months out on June 8, 2010 8:47 pm
OK i find it to be a long life diet. you can call it a life style change but the fact still remains, you must continue to watch calories and workout, when i first read about this surgery i thought wow after years of being over weight i can now not be with the help of the surgery and never be over weight again, well its a good thing to think that way till the real truth hits after many long months. i find that for me to get to goal i must change what i eat every few week. i can stay my longest stall has only been 3 weeks even before the surgery, but i have to be so so focus and it is so hard sometimes.
when i was thinking about, i thought i would only be able to eat 1oz of food for ever and never be hungry again, well i as wrong. it seem like i can eat as much as i did before. well since my surgery i have loss 135lbs. if i wasn't to lose more weight i have to remember how did i lose this weight. was it because i could eat so little and absorb so much?
well it is true at first but how can i lose now?
i found a way to lose weight but it is a hard one to do.
protein veggies some fruits and whole grains.
well i found out that i can eat sugar but i stay away from white simple carbs.
wheat is a killer for me. i don't get sick right away from it. but 4hr later i can feel it coming.
so i eat soy flour (NOT SO GOOD TASTING) but its better then getting sick hours later.
also flex seed has been good too. well i only been cooking and baking with those two whole grain foods.
i have committed to the low carb life style i find when i eat so little carb i don't feel as hungry like when i eat high carb foods.
well this journey has been very hard over 2year losing weight i wonder sometimes when will it be over, well i know the losing weight journey is almost over but a new one is about to begin
on and i just have to say. i was told 8months ago i could not make it to goal and i would only get down to 198lbs. well i sure showed her it was a nurse at my surgeon's office that said that. that just go to show you doctors don't know everything,
in time i will get there it mite not be this month but i will. the key is to never give up,because once you do its all over.

16 months out on June 3, 2010 1:56 pm
Its been along time since I came on here to post about myself, well first all lets get to the weight today I am 167.5lbs I am in a size 10pants size medium/small tops and my swimsuit is a size 8 wow I never thought I would be wearing these sizes.
I say if you think that just because you are a year out or more and you think you will not lose anymore you are so wrong, I thought that when I had this surgery and even a doctor told me I cant make it to goal. I was told I will only make it to 198lbs well I showed her 
I would like to say just because you have surgery don’t mean the weight loss is a sure thing, you hear about people gaining weight after surgery and it is so true, I was 166lbs 2weeks ago about and some how I wanted to eat, it is so easy to eat, it seem like I could eat as much as I did before, but I looked up on the scale and saw 174 last week and it freak me out, I then went back to eating right again and now I am on a new path. Well anyways my point is if you stay on track you will lose, or even maintain, don’t fall back into those poor eating habits it will just destroy you in the end,
Ok well I’ll be posting a few picture’s in a few days
Remember losing weight is a hard battle but worth every pound!
