WOW!!!! I should NEVER promise NOT to post again!!!! I figured it was time, I have been hanging out here again since my four year anniversary, July 28th. That day, my brother in law had his surgery this year. He so far has lost 34 lbs! I realized that I had to do something. In the four years since surgery, Ive really let myself go. I stop loosing at nine months out. I drank diet soda. I had caffeine. I drank with meals. My weight went back to 312!!! So, I did the 5 day pouch test, came back here for support, and am REALLY doing my best. My thought when I had the surgery the first time was "I had the surgery, the weight will come off no matter what". And it does...but it wont stay off if you dont do what your supposed to. I cant beleive at the end of the five day pouch test how much FULLER I feel. This time, I AM doing it right. It feels so good!! And, I am down to 286.4. I hope that if you read this and you are a "newbie" that you hear me when I say to LISTEN to your surgeon and the specialists. The weight will come back, old bad habits will come back. The best of luck to everyone!!!!
