    Just passing through hoping that all went successful. You will be fine just follow your physicians advise. Take it slow and one day at a time. After the third month you will feel a bit more like yourself and really notice a difference and will be ready to shop!!!

my weight loss story!
this journey is a ever lasting diet


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!
