"I May Not Be Where I Want to Be, but I'm Not Where I Use To Be!"

WOW o WOW Molly!!!! You look great and don't you give up the race.  Do you still feel your restriction this far out?????? Just curioius about that?  I know that when I cut really back, I start feeling my restrictions more and more.

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK BEAUTIFUL!

Thanks Happypeach!!  And congrats to you too!!    Yes my pouch is fine and still works!  I had it checked out last year when I started getting back on track.  But I knew it still worked though.  Like you said especially when I am eating little amounts for a while.  Congrats on your 172 pounds!!  Awesome!!

Glad to hear that your pouch is still working after such a long time ...... !!!!! That reenforces what my surgeon told me during one of my many "questions" during this journey.  I had heard so much on the boards about the pouch stretching, etc, etc.  My surgeon told me that he makes the pouch from the most durable part of the stomach and it is very uncommon for the pouch to stretch and his findings have been that most people who start regaining after 3 years have become lax with their food intake, and have gone back to old eating habits, grazing, not journalizing and have become more sedondary with their exercise.  I'm sure that is not the case with every one .... but its truly "inspiring" to know that your pouch is working great, and you still have restriction!  Awesome huh?  I think this surgery is ONE MIRACULOUS life saver!
