Thanks for all of the nice compliments.

The surgery has changed my life. I am active and way more productive. I have recently changed jobs and my weight loss has even made me more marketable. I am able to hike, bike ride, hunt and even ski. I exercise as much as possible and do my best to keep it fun. I have an 8, almost nine year old daughter and we exercise together. Last March we even won a father daughter ski race medal!

I eat normal meals just a lot smaller then before. I pay attention to the rules, I never eat and drink at the same time, I eat Proteins, then veggies and then carbs only if I have any room left. I still enjoy eating and I try not to feel deprived. I do not eat much fried foods because they don't sit well in my stomach. I was never much of a sweets person but I do occasionally have a little ice cream with my family. I weigh myself once a week and adjust my calories and exercise accordingly. I have not actually had an issue with my weight going up.

I also go to the monthly support group in my area. I think that is a big help.
