been a while...
Hey everyone,
Just wanted to pop in and say hi. I have been so busy lately, I haven't had much time to come and visit with all of you. From what I have read, most are doing ok, although it is weird not seeing Boner not post here... what's up with that?
My journey has been going well. I have plateu'ed a bit lately (probably from the lack of excersise), but that is all changing as I have hired a personal trainer and she's kicking my ass every other day! She's really understanding of my situation (surgery) and works really well and doesn't give me an inch! (which I need!)
Overall I have lost 175 lbs since last year and since surgery I have lost 125 lbs. I had my 6 month with my dr and she is recommending PS since I carry all my weight in my gut and I have a lot of pannus. She thinks with PS I would lose an addl 40-50 lbs!
The only thing I really struggle with right now is diet and tolerance of certain foods. I have a love-hate relationship with chicken! One day, all is well, then next, well you know,
. I have found myself eating some things that are "easier" on the pouch, but not as good for me. I have cut most of it back out of my diet, so I feel I'm getting back on track.
Over the holidays, I found that I don't dump. (damn my step-mom's mini pecan pies!!!)
I hope that the rest of you guys are doing great! Keep up the fantastic work and I hope to be checking in more often, now that life seems to be slowing down a bit more...
Take care,
John
