You look GREAT!!!! How did you lose so quickly, especially being a lightweight? I started at 247 and now am only 170???? How come? Please tell me your secrets!!! Tricia

I think my biggest secret is that I had a complication (a leak) that was managed with a JP drain and allowed to heal on its own so I was not able to stretch my pouch or eat a lot in the beginning. I never overeat now because when I was learning to guage that I was under strict orders to eat very slowly and not put any stress on the leak. In the first couple weeks half of everything I was able to get down went back out that drain. I think it has affected when I judge myself to be full and done eating. I hope it continues! Other than that I do a lot of Pilates and walking and bike riding. I am trying to follow the pouch rules and am only cheating on one major thing, which is carbonation that I am getting in beer when I go out and am too broke to buy anything but beer.
