I'm two years out from surgery.  I haven't reached my personal goal weight of 190 lbs yet.  Since my 18 month mark, I've only lost 5 lbs.  I'm currently at 215 lbs down from my surgery weight of 377.5 lbs.  My surgeon, Dr. J. K. Champion told me that I had 18 months to change my lifestyle and lose the excess weight.  I've seesawed between 213 and 219 lbs over the past six months.  I haven't lost faith.  I keep working the program - eating right; aerobic exercise (4-5 days per week for 1 hr); 64 oz minimum of water per day; and no drinking with meals or for 30 minutes afterward.  My personal health continues to improve even though I've plateaued with weight loss.  This fact keeps me motivated.  My resting heart rate is 38 and my muscle mass continues to grow while my waist size continues to shrink (waist size @ surgery = 60; current waist size = 38).  Though very important, weight is not the prize that we seek but instead a long, healthful, & productive life!
