5 Year update

Jan 05, 2011

 Today is 5 years out for me.  I am at my goal weight, of 128.  I started at 264 the day of surgery.  I do not eat sugar at all, yes, even with the dumping, you can get use to it and that will be the biggest way to end your weighloss with this surgery.  I have not had plastic surgery, but I have been lucky and my skin tightened up for the most part, I wont be a model, but I don't hangdown anywhere.  Yes I would love to get it, but it isn't going to happen anytime soon.  

I did loose a few pounds last year, as I wasn't happy with where I was, so I went back to basics and used my tool.  It took a few weeks, but I went from 140 to the 128 I am at now.  I had been at the 140 for most of the time since I reached my bottom level.

I have learned alot about how to loose weight either with or without the tool.  I offer help when I am asked.  There are tricks that let you eat the things you love, but with small changes that make them calorie friendly.  

I can not stress enough that once you have this surgery you can NEVER eat sugar again.  Also, the protein drinks and smoothies can be a down fall, in my opinion.  You see, we can drink alot of calories and if not careful, those 2 items are a big reason I see people can not reach their goals.  But it is the sugar I see as the main reason people don't make it.  We absorb every calorie of sugar we take in.  Once you start on the road of sugarland, it is over.  The great tool of dumping is gone.  

Do I ever regret what I did?  NEVER!!!!!!!!!  Would I do it again?  In a heartbeat!!!!!  It saved my life!
