Happy Aniversary!

Hello my fellow WLS' parterns. How are you doing two years after, what are you eating, do you have any problems because of the WLS?????? I just want to know how are you all are doing. Hugss***Celi.

Hi Celi, I am two years out this January 29th......I started at 321 and am now 180-186. I think this may be it unless I get myself more motivated to step up to a more agressive exercise program or cut the carbs.....some things I may need to change. Other than that, I am very happy to have had this surgery. I could have never lost this 120 something pounds on my own. I am worried about the future, though. Seems many bariatrics develop problems 3 to 10 years out. Some are minor problems, others are major. But I live every moment for now and I am not looking for trouble. I keep pretty much on the straight and narrow with protein first and I still drink one to two shakes a day for added protein supplementation. I get my blood levels checked twice yearly and have had good results. So, from my mouth to God's ears, let us all be well and continue on our journeys without complications.... Regards, Midge

I am very happy to read your post. I am doing ok. I have lost 160 pounds but I am still battling eating disorders but hey I am grateful for all the weight I have lost. I am eating pretty much everything but try to stay away from Carbs and sweets because they are very hard for me to digest. I hope you keep on with the good work and wish you the best. Celi

Sunday the 29th will be 2 years for me. Absolutely no problems here. I have lost 97 lbs.....3 pound away from my goal and I can actually see me finally reaching it. Old habit are trying to come back but at least I am aware of them now. I have maintained my loss for a year now. All is well. Leanne

Hi Leanne! I am very happy to see how good you look, Congrats! I hope that you keep up the good work and that you do reach your goal. A happy New Year to you. Celi

Happy Anniversary to all you Jan. patients. 2 years, wow! Seems like not so long ago. I am having a couple of problems. I may have a stricture, trouble eating all of the sudden. I also noticed some side pain, I still have my gall bladder. Indigestion too. So I guess I will make an appointment real soon. I am down 135 lbs now. I started at 260 but lost some before surgery. Feels great to come from a size 22-24 to a size 6-8! Best wishes to all of you! Vera Houpt Greenville, OH
