    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!!!

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!   getting into shape
