It’s been 9 years since my surgery… I had the surgery 2/25/2003 and lost about 131 lbs in about a year; with 100 lbs gone in 6 months. My lowest weight was 127 lbs. I am now 143 lbs; the weight came off and remained off.
As far as eating, it’s still the same since my surgery, which is a small child’s plate each time I eat. I eat about 6 to 7 times a day. I'm eating all the time. Due to my metabolism picking up, I am constantly hungry. I am doing great and eating healthier plates. I am not really limited to many foods, except for greasy foods. I can stomach just about anything, including Jr burgers, but they must have extra lettuce and tomatoes on them. I also can eat half a 6inch sub from subway in a sitting. I snack about 3-4 times a day and eat my 3 meals everyday. I think the trick was eating within an hour upon waking up and exercising.
I still exercise regularly (jogging, swimming and P90X). When people see me they never would have guessed that I had WLS. If it wasn’t for the stretch marks and stomach incision you would never now. FYI—NO PLASTIC SURGERY!!!
My first marriage did end due to a lot of issues that were never taken care of before my surgery; however I have remarried in 2010 to a wonderful loving caring man.
