How cool is this? A year and a half after my surgery, I bought a black and gold dress to wear to our office Christmas party. (size 12) I just pulled it out of my closet to try it on to wear to a wedding on Friday. It fits. Something I wore in 2008 fits me in 2014. This, my friends, is a miracle.

I am about 29 months out and I have gained 10lbs and really kicking myself for it.  We really just need to concentrate on the basics and go back there.  I have a friend who is in the same position.

I had VSG on 8/22/14, I guess now that I'm on solid foods a craving for a piece of fried chicken I gave into.  I don't puke constantly, I thinks its just that I need to slow down and eat slowly.  that is what I have learned the hard way with reading everything and talking to the surgeon.  I was just wondering if anyone else had this issue.  And thank you I shouldn't give into a craving for anything fried.  Today I started back tracking of protien intake and really making sure I get my 64 oz of fluid in.  I had slacked off and now back on track and I really think this will help my brain and stomach to get on the same page.

You already have a good handle on what happened. Just remember that we have modified our bodies for LIFE. Both living LIFE fully but also for duration of LIFE. Even after goal reached, you need to stay alert to what your mind and body are doing. Your journey does NOT end with goal -- it is just a signpost along the way.

It's worth the effort -- I climbed Mt St Helens at age 61, and recently hiked the Great Wall at 66. And still going strong! 

What surgery have you had?  Have you talked to your surgeon?  Why are you eating fried foods at all?
