21 months out

Feb 01, 2011

It has been almost a year since I was last logged on here.  I checked my weight at that time and it is the same as it is today.  171.  It hasn't gone up (thankfully) but it seems stuck at this point.  I have been trying to eat less and excercise more.  I walk the dog at least two times a day and I got a Wii  and Wii fit plus for christmas and have been using it diligently since then.  I had to have a vericose vein fixed in my leg and that prevented me from doing a lot of aerobics and other excersices for 3 weeks but now I can get back to it.

My problem is I have not found one food that bothers me.  I can eat all the same stuff that I could eat prior to my surgery. It is almost  like I didn't have the surgery although all I have to do is look in the mirror to know that I have lost weight.    I have not had any dumping incidents that I can think of. It i  I am careful about what I eat but find myself falling back to the old ways at times even though I can't eat as much.  I try to avoid sugar but on the ocassions that I have had something with sugar in it it has not casued any problems.  This leads to a false sense of security in a way.  Not drinking while eating is still a problem.  Usually I am pretty good at separating the two but when I am out I always get a glass of water and sip it with my meal. 

Overall I feel great.  I can do so much more now than I could 21 months ago.
