hi! I'm just now heading into year 3. My surgery has been a great success for me. I reached my doctors goal of 212 and even surpassed that. Now it's time for my own personal goal, 170. . . (I think I weighed that when I was in 3rd grade! ) Anyhow after the first year I had lost all my weight and then it stopped dead! No more weight loss. So I "took off" this past year. Never gained more then 5 lbs but lost it right away. I never exercised or anything, so I was very lucky. Going into year 3, I've made a new commitment to myself. To get back into the swing of exercise. I've started to go to the gym, but don't go for long periods, only 30 minutes of treadmilling. 10 minutes of warmup, 10 minutes of heavy cardio (level 8 incline and at 4.2 mph speed) then 10 minutes of cool down. I make sure my heartrate gets to 150 or 160 during the cardio workout. At work, employees are given the option of parking right behind the building for $10.00 a day or park for $2.50 per day about 1/4 mile away. So I choose to do the $2.50 a day parking and walk an extra 1/2 mile every day. When I go to the store I park way the heck at the farthest place and walk. Every bit counts they say. I'm not changing the way I eat (I still can only fit 6 - 7 oz at every meal. I had a very small bougie placed 28/32F) but I'm not going to snack unhealthy. Instead of a candy bar or something weird, I've started eating fresh fruits. I realize that these are sometimes filled with more carbs and sugars then the candy bar, but at least the calories are benefical, and as long as it's in moderation. I eat my 3 meals like normal. For example, today I had Sonic BMT Breakfast sandwich 3" on flatbread. lunch will be a cup of soup; Dinner: 1 egg with 1 slice of cheese and 1 cup of tea. Snacks include 1 orange around 3:30 or so. I'll throw in a couple of diet sodas during the day and probably a rum and coke this evening. But that is about it. My calories run anywhere from 750 - 1500 depending on the day. Good luck and I hope this helps you a bit.
