finally a centurian

[vogue 310]

8.5 months post-op

down 101 pounds as of this morning.... Im 6 pounds away from "normal" BMI... I wear a size 10

trial for triathlon in 4 days...

Issues:

I had a stricture and trouble moving from liquids to mushies ( basically stayed on liquids for nearly 12 weeks and then straight to regular food)

I got dehydrated twice

some issues related to Vitamin & mineral absorption I had before VSG were worsened

I still cannot eat most chicken or turkey ( can do breast or chicken salad but no baked or fried, roasted, etc for some reason)

I get dumping everytime I have cake/cookies

I get sharts when I drink more than an ounce of juice...

DESPITE IT ALL I HAVE NOT A REGRET!!
