Still doing great!
on December 30, 2008 10:01 pm
I feel so blessed that I haven't regained any weight.
I feel great!
I guess I look good, been called HOT, by several folks (no small task for a 50 year old)
I haven't had complications.
I still don't dump. But sometimes I suddenly get very sleepy after I've had certain carbs (not sure which ones yet).
Overall, this has been a successful surgery.
I hope this lasts a very long time.
I know several people that have regained MOST of their lost weight.
I pray that that doesn't happen to me.

Still maintaining after accident
on October 2, 2008 10:20 pm
Hi, been a really long time.
I was in an accident in May and was laid up for a few months.
My back broke (crushed vertebrea) and caused lots of swelling and discomfort.  I was so afraid that being immobile for so long would put on so much weight.  I have been afraid to get on the scale for months, I can feel the extra weight but I can still wear my clothes.
I finally needed to visit the DR. I'm having pain on my right side.  He weighed me.  good news, I gained only 5 or 6 pounds.  I hope I can lose it.  I may have a hernia from the accident.  :(  Does that mean that I can get a hernis repair (tummy tuck)???
Has that happened to anyone else?
Still staying away from simple carbs and pasta!!

Still losing at 2o months post-op
on February 19, 2008 12:01 am
Yep, I was at a stall for several months.
Then, for no reason, I started to lose again.
I've been eating the same way for this entire year. 
No change, except I've started to add a few carbs into my diet.
Yes, the dreaded carb!  I am careful still to avoid empty carbs.
But the occasional carb seems to be just fine.
I have more energy now and I'm very happy about that.
I still need to be careful about snacking during certain times of the month.
Other than that, keeping the weight in check has been rather easy.
Thank God for this tool.
