I have been back on track for six days not counting today and i have lost 8 lbs so far. I'm so stinking excited. I'm so happy that I have restriction still. I'm going to keep up the good work and Keep at it. I've been doing squats using my kettle bell and I'm going to start working with a punching bag today. I'm so excited to be losing successfully. I can't believe it. EIGHT pounds. This is awesome. I feel like I just had the surgery. I'm staying around 30 grams of carbs a day and more than 70 grams of protein a day. Two days of two shakes and one meal the rest of the time I did low carb high protein. After Thanksgiving I'm going to do a week of two shakes one meal just to completely reset my sleeve. That was my intention this week but I ran out of almond milk and haven't been able to run to the store. So Friday I will go out and get some almond milk and do my week. :D My husband who has not had surgery yet has also lost weight but unfortunately we can't be sure how much because my scale doesn't read his weight. WHen we go to the doctors though we will know. :D

Hey Friends,
Been quite awhile since we last spoke. I looked back to June 2010 and found some of my first postings.
Major Mom had given me good advice and Roz always awesome to a newbie.
MM, You had commented on Dr, Anthones Common Channel length at the time being longer than some and were interested in long term . Being 6 years out I can comment on it. The surgery was DS/BPD .
The CC being about 250cm ...as I remember lol... I lost weight rapidly and made goal within a year. I kept near goal weight but ranging about 10lbs either way. That is til last year I got a anaerobic sinus Infection that required steroids and high powered antibiotics and surgery. I gained 25lbs. I lost the weight but it was difficult. The one thing I would say is exciting for me is that I with the approval of my doctor am not taking in extra protein or vitamins other than from meals. well actually I don't take mass quantities of vitamins. In this regard I am atypical so I wonder if it was the CC length that is the difference. My whole life has changed, I am studying ministry now and looking to do something for others at our church. My wife has MS but is still doing well. Life is good for us even with very little and I hope and pray we can protect families that are scared and marginalized. Peace and Grace to you...Jeff

Zippy, If you get to other forums here you will find that people can be not so nice if you : 1) Don't have as much to lose 2) If you are not typical in what is required to maintain and 3) question the accepted methods of the group. This forum is very accepting and encouraging and rarely less than very nice. I had not been here for so long I logged in with the DS group and then remembered why I always came here.
