Now it is 2011 and things have not gone as I would have hoped. I did end up going from 250 to 175. But I didn't contimue from there. My best advice for anyone having this surgery is not to eat any trigger foods after the surgery. I did any most foods didn't bother me, Ice Cream and things with lots of fat or sugar do bother my stomach so I stay pretty much away from them. I still try to eat my protein first and drink water. But I did drink. Alcohol didn't make me drunk faster at all. I also over ate at times.
I now have gained back 30 pounds and am so disappointed in myself. It seems harder now to lose weight than ever.
