7-16-2010 5 years since weight loss surgery

Jul 16, 2010

Hi everyone,  I had my 5 year check up with my surgeon, Dr. Kim today.  It was a great checkup.  I actually lost 2 lbs. since last year.  I've been able to maintain an average weight loss of approx. 80 lbs.  I have to behave myself and try to stick to the good habits of eating primarily protein, minimal carbohydrates and walking everyday, or it will creep up on me.  My previous checkups had me gaining about 5 lbs. each year.  He x-rayed my pouch and it looks the same as it did after my surgery, so I have not streached it too much.  It is neat to be able to see this for myself on the monitor.  I am one of the fortunate ones that still feels nauseous if I eat more than a few bites of anything with real sugar, so this keeps me in check too.
