Update 17 mos out...

Jun 17, 2009

Feel AWESOME....though the Ventral Hernia is back and getting worse all the time (repaired Nov. 08, recurred a couple months later)....going to have it fixed again once summer is over because I dont wanna be out of commission while the weather is nice....as long as it doesnt become an emergency.  Good news is that I'm going to get an abdominoplasty at the same time because the hernia will be covered under insurance and will save me HALF off my tummy tuck (just under $4k out of pocket for the TT....not bad.).

Maintaining 235 lb weightloss for about 8 months now....running a few miles at a time now, few times a week....staying active through sports....still HATE the gym so I dont go....but I exercise alot through activities I enjoy.  Eating about 3000 calories per day through 3 meals and 3 snacks inbetween (eat every 3 hrs or so)....it's all health food with a strong emphasis on high protein, relatively low fat, and I eat only healthy carbs....thank god I can keep my cravings in check and always make the right dietary choices because I *CAN* eat a very normal sized portion now....and though I havent tested sugar (and wont), NO foods make me sick, and I rarely get a full sensation (kinda scary)....I do have some NSA ice cream a couple times a week and the occasional SF chocolate but I dont go insane with the snacks...and drink alot of fluids...

That's about it for now....still loving my RNY!
