Wow Kelly what a success you are!!! I am so proud of you and of everyone else on this board who have changed their lives. We saved our lives by changing our lives and with our tool and our program we can be successful. You are right i do sometimes over eat but usually i get sick if i do. So my tool still works. I have normal cholesterol 156 from 209 and my blood pressure is normal.. I do not have sleep apnea anymore and i am not pre diabetic. I only take a puff of alberterol when i have a cold for asthma. Other than that i do not take any other inhalers for copd or asthma as i dont get a cold very often. I do exercise now!!!!! ZUMBA!!! i just love it. wished i had found that when i was really losing weight. I am fighting 5 to 10 pounds but i guess that is normal rebound weight. But i do watch it. Take care YOU ARE A SUCCESS!!!

It sounds like you are doing wonderful. My pouch talked to me for a couple of months i do get some noise now but not as much or maybe i am use to it. Sip sip sip that is all you can do .
it does get better as time goes on but right now the big thing is to get fluids in.
Take care

What's worth the PRIZE is ALWAYS worth the FIGHT! 
Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I am doing great healing up fine! I am having a little trouble getting all my fluids in but I am getting most of them in.
My hospital stay was very nice. I have no complaints! I recieved my pain medicine when I wanted it. The nurses were very nice and very caring! I had my catheder in until the day I left (due to low output). I am not using my pain medicine hardly. I have been home since yesterday afternoon and only used it twice. I am up walking and sipping. I have tried some soup and that was pretty darn good! I have about 4 ozs of protein drinks for meals and try to sip my SF CIB for in between. It's hard because mt tummy makes some funky sounds and I am not sure if it's because I am full or because of the gas.
I am however very tired so I am going back to bed! Thank you again!

20 pounds lost during two week pre-op diet.
Yes, it's been two years as of yesterday. I can eat normal amounts of food and do occasionally overeat, just like any normal person does. The only difference now is that I don't just say screw it and keep doing it, I say oh well and get back on plan. I have lost about 150 pounds and have had a little bounce back weight. I live my life and so much more fun now than I did before. I can run, jump, and walk for miles and miles. I have tons of fun with my kids and my DH now and never want to go back to having to do contortions to wipe my own ass (and not break toilet seats almost semi-annually). My blood pressure is normal and my cholesterol has gone down to 140 from 299. My blood sugars have all been normal since the day of surgery. So all in all, I say SUCCESS! Yeah!
