WOW ! Two years !!!!
It is hard to believe it has been two years since my D S !!
I am so glad I found the true way to live !!!
Because of the previous crap band,,, I have not lost as fast as the many "virgin" DS folks,but by golly the weight t still left!!! YEAH !!
I am stronger, healthier, and happier for doing this,
I do my vitamins, drink my fluids and get lots of protein, keep my butter, whipping cream on hand and and then run around like the devil is chasing me all the time,,, never seem to stay still very long at all,,,, if I do it is because I am sleeping ! LOL I have sooo much energy .
the down,... I stay away from white breads and pasta,, will do whole grain once in a while,, if feel the need.
Most of the time I keep cheese and nibble-ts of meat around, eat or snack about every two hours, Then there are days it is just not an eating day,, so I will drink my protein, Thank god for Starbucks SF Vanilla latte with two scoops of protein !! LOL
For me , being as I am approaching my 60's it has not been about the size 4 to6 clothes but the
shedding of the huge amount of weight..
I am in a nice 12 now and feel great, coming from where I was at 315 to now 148,,, I am good !!!
I had to learn the hard way and believe all the gibberish about the lap band,, learned my lesson,, I beat myself up alot as I am a nurse and should have known better listen to the hype of the wls docs instead of researching years ago,,,
DO YOUR RESEARCH ABOUT WHAT SURGERY YOU CHOOSE !!! then FIND the doctor that does it !!!
I was talked into the band,,, ended up with huge mass in the stomach that grew up thru the esophagus,, loosing part of it and more of the stomach than I should have because my body tried to get rid of the "nasty thing in my body " !!
SO beware,,choose one of the other surgeries,, but of course I am thank full I chose the DS....
Now the beginning and the present !!!
