My Journey with WLS
Sep 22, 2009
September 23, 2009
I joined OH in 2003 and had RNY at the Cleveland Clinic in Jan. 2004. I found my surgeon here on OH.
I was very active in OH. In 2005, I lost my entire profile, blog, (called bio then) and about that time I was discourged over losing my diary here and stopped posting her. After about 2 years my eating went crazy. No sugar but I starting eating things like gold fish..small things that the pouch really tolerated well, better than meat or dense foods.
In a nutshell, I stopped losing weight after 6 months and got very depressed. I have since gained 25 lbs.
I am trying to start eating the correct WLS way. Today I am having 3 protein shakes, following the 5 day pouch test. From there, I'm not sure what I need to do but I will find out!!

My plan has been working. I am walking 5 days a week, right now it is about 2 miles. I lost 7 lbs. from 10-1 to 11-1-09. Better attitude, too.
I am having brachioplasty (arm lift) done Nov. 19, 2009 in Hollywood, FL by Dr. Bernard Shuster. I really need plastics most places on my body but my arms bother me the most.
I still can't find a protein drink I like so I'm eating a lot of greek yogurt, ricotta and fish. I get in at least 70 oz. water a day.
I really need to change my profile avatar..it's my "before" picture!
