Been Far too long since I have been in here

Long Time, no visits.....
[this place seems a ghost-town. It used to have 40 or so new threads a day with massive replies.]

But, just throwing this out for those wondering about long-term results.
So, from one who had this surgery 20 years ago?

Had RNY 2003
Was 390lbs. /5'11.5" - [BMI of 53.6]

I Lost down to 170 to 180 in the first 8 months.
Then slowly dropped on down to the mid- 160's about 10 years ago
and have been at that weight since.
To quote my Dr., my "health is Awesome."
64 years old this summer, and still in better health than I was any time prior to 2003.

I don't really do any "Diets" or re-set business.
Over the years I've just made sure to get in a lot of lean meats and vegetables.
Early eating routines quickly became Habits. And Habits are so hard to break.
If you are "looking into" WLS, learn all you can.
If you've had WLS, keep using it.


Life is meant to be Lived, Not Endured.

Best Wishes- Dx

Hello

I'm inspired by your story. I'm 2 years out in my journey of VSG. Do you have any suggestions or tips as I continue being you are a veteran? I can't really do healthy options but I am committed to walking journaling and eating in smaller portions. But my problem is snacking so I am trying to replace some with fresh fruits. Thank you for your help and support.

I agree that things have gotten a little quiet ?

Wasn't there forums for XX years post surgery?

a lot of people seem to be joining Facebook groups for bariatric patients these days instead of these types of forums - which is unfortunate since bad info that gets posted there rarely gets corrected right away like it does here (and often doesn't get corrected at all). One of the big reasons I've hung on here...
