On August 13, 2014, I celebrated the 2-year anniversary of my sleeve.

I started at 275. My goal in August 2012 was to get down to 200. I got down to around 190.

As of today, I am still hovering between 188 and 192. Two years later.

The surgery changed my life.

Biggest challenge now? None really. I just refuse to over do it. When I start feeling full, I stop.

I still drink Protein drinks- 75-100 grams a day. I still stay away from carbs. I do not eat fast food. Most of what I eat is grilled. And I walk 5 miles a day.

I am 54.....and my doc says I have the health of a 30-year-old.

Like I said....the surgery changed my life. The young attorneys cannot keep up with me. Best thing I ever did.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
