I am an official member of the Onederland Club. What this means is I no longer weigh 200 and anything!! No more 200's for me! I am really excited. As of yesterday, I am down to 188 Woot Woot!!
I love this tool that the Doctor gave me. Roux eN Y was the way to go. Don't get me wrong, it's not the answer to weight loss, it is an aid. I still determine how much I am willing to eat and what I put in my mouth. It's not a miracle cure-all and I've worked very hard to eat right and exercise since my surgery.
I'm very please with all the sugar-free products they have come out with as opposed to 5 or 10 years ago and glad I did not have surgery that far back. Life would have been a bit more difficult.
Now I make sure to get all my vitamins, iron and protein in. My diet consists of 75% protein, 15% veggies, and 10% fat. I try to avoid carbs as often as possible and sugar is a HUGE No No!
