update After 7 years
Mar 11, 2011
My story below: Update now I weigh about 155 to 160 I have had a lot of medical problems so I have to fight to lose weight these days . I am happy that I had this surgery , Since then I had back surgery and knee surgery which kept me in and out of bed for over a year I just now have started to exercise again .. I am losing weight again I just started the one week protein and then going to fruit veggies and chicken. It will work and I will get back down to 130. That is where I would like to stay. The main thing is that I am back to working on it. Hope and pray this will encourage you all...Love from Sarah T

   I looked and looked for you every where: The weight I would gain Would always be the same: Five pounds here ten pounds there: I truley wanted to go and hide: But then th Lord came to stand by my side: a gastric bypass he did provide: So now I am happy so happy inside: I no longer live to eat but I eat to live: Lord you gave me the gift of my weight coming off: I thank you a lot from bottom to top: You are so precious you are so sweet : You have made me able to see my feet: Copy right Sarah Tremper 5/9/2004 I hope you all liked this poem. I have had a lot of ups and downs with my eating I am hopeing to get the hang of it soon,5/10/04  5/22/04 I have been feeling a lot better the Dr put me on some medication for an ulcer and it has improved me being able to eat. I still get full after an ounce or two but at least I don't get sick. I am now 3 months out and have lost 47 pounds. I am very pleased with the slow loss it is about one pound a day but it is another pound I for sure will never put back on I refuse to ever eat like I did before my surgery... 5/28/04 I am still only 47 pounds down. I have had to change things around a little. I had to cut down on the protein drink it caused me to gain a pound so I cut back a bit and increased water and then lost that pound it is a constant battle. I am working very hard at just eating what is good for me. I do like sugar free oatmeal cookies I do eat some not every day though. Will update more later.  6/5/04Have not been losing weight for a while I up protein and water and lowered the carbs. I also exercised with Richard Simmons Sweaten to the oldies, Then I went for a 2.75 mile walk and done 100 sit ups. Hope this works.   6/9/04 I uped my protein to 137-150 per day and I have started loseing again I am so happy I have lost 2 pounds in one day it took about 10 days to lose anything. Water water water I uped my water to 96 oz. per day also... 6/14/04 I lowered my protein again I am now drinking carb soulutions for breakfast , Lunch I had 2 tiny corn dogs, snack I had a sugar free popcicle, Dinner I had salmon pattie inbetween when I get hungry I nibble not graze on pistchios/ wheat nuts or peanuts. 6/15/04 Today I weighed I weighed 185 last night I have lost 4 pounds yea!!!
