New to list and introduction
I am ten months post-op DS and what a time it has been. This time last
year I weighed 293 pounds, I lost 6 pounds before surgery, now I weigh
167 pounds. Weight loss surgery has given me back my life on my own
terms. I eat anything and everything and nothing seems to phase this
surgery, I am still losing weight no matter what I put into my mouth. I
eat a couple of donuts and several eggs for breakfast, I munch on
cookies or chips for a snack, lunch is chicken salad or cobb salad with
extra blue cheese dressing and a piece of chocolate torte, I eat beef
jerky in the afternoon for a snack, and dinner usually is a 8 oz steak,
a small baked potato with butter, sour cream and cheese sauce.
I have about 25 more to go to reach goal, and the weight loss has been
effortless, but to have one less thing to obsess about is eating and
dieting, after a lifetime of dieting, I am glad to get rid of the good
food/bad food focus.
Thanks for listening
