Long time no write!

It's been a long time! The sleeve is still working, but not as "well" I believe there is some stretching that has happend. I still think tho', if I didn't have the sleeve, how much MORE I could eat..amazing.

So, yea, I can eat more tha 1/2 cup (that's how much I could eat when we first got the sleeve) I would say, probably 1 to 1.5 cups..depending on the food. I have gained about 12 pounds over the holiday..kind went nuts :) I need to get back on track however I'm having recent knee problems so it makes it hard to exersize. I'm trying hard to do Yoga (back to doing hot yoga..it's really great..but kinda out of it.)

In July of last year I had surgery to remove my gallbladder and a cholledochal cyct in my bile duct. It was a very invasive surgery and involved a roux en Y (not from the stomach but from my pancreas). I was exctied when they said Roux en Y 'cause I thought..HEY I'll have TWO SURGERIES IN 1! :) but..no...not the right kind :) post surgery I was down to about 258..that's the lowest I"d been in years..but it's started creeping up. My husband put it into perspective for me...the expectation would be that we would lose 1/3 of our body weight..and we have..it's a little less climatic than I thought :) I wish I could lose more like I did the first year..but I know that now it's up to me..

I'd really like to get the pain under control so I can exersize more..even the elliptical hurts..darnit!

I hope all is well with everyone else..if you have any questions, don't hesitate to write!
