    Hey Munchkin -- I haven't been on much, but just wanted to drop a note and say I hope all is well. Finished my second full marathon a few weeks ago, still working out like crazy! No more losing, just maintenance for me.

    Thanks so much, Munch! It was nice of you to take the time to let me know because you have been an inspiration to me along this journey. I can't even begin to imagine that I look that well or thin, I still see myself bigger than other people do. Kind of sad, isn't it? I want you to know that you motivate me to keep on w/the exercise. Have a great day!

    Hi, I have a quick question. After 1 year post-op, did you feel your stomach can hold more food?

    Thanks,
    Rose

    Awww thanks! It feels like I was just sleeved yesterday as well. Weight loss is slowing down though so I expect it will still take at least three months to get there. But at this stage, I feel like I'm having a great normal life again. Yay!

    Hi Mumchkin, I'm new to this site. I am so glad I've found it. I've learned so much from browsing here. have been searching on weight loss surgery for the last 4 years and I finally decided to have the vsg done. I know I am ready and can't wait to start this journey. I am a new patient of Dr Lautz. I have my initial consult with him on 3/7/12. I was wondering how long after the initial appointment do you get a surgery date. How is the program over there? The staff? And Dr Lautz ? Any input will be appreciated. Thanks

    You are so sweet, Munchkid!! No, they were not skinny jeans -- just straight leg jeans and always falling of of me. I need a belt! But I am so used to not being able to fit a belt that I haven't even looked for one. lol
    Thank you, dear friend for the complement! Hugs!!!!!

3 year anniversary tomorrow

by Munchkin on 01-08-2015 at 04:55 PM
I don't want to forget to post like I did in the past so I am posting today.

It has been 3 years. It is the best decision I made for my health. And sleeve help me maintain weightloss. I have lost weight many times but never able to maintain. I have maintain between 115lb to 129lb in the last 2 years. Mostly I hover over 120lb (BMI slight above 25). I am considered a great success according to my WLS.

It is not easy. I don't just sit around and be able to

Got the barium test result

by Munchkin on 12-17-2014 at 05:37 PM
I got the result of my barium test. They didn't measure the size of my stomach. Bummer. I did get to see the result. It looks like a sausage on the film. So it doesn't look that big. You know how the stomach looked like a U shape before surgery, it is not U shape anymore, more like a sausage.

I found out that I have developed a small hiatal hernia meaning part of my stomach went above the diaphragm. I have not had acid re flux or stomach pain so I didn't know I have this condition.

Another update

Ran my last half marathon of the year. I amazingly felt great during this race. I ran 4 times this year. I finished this race in 2 hrs 45 mins. Not bad considering I didn't train for it.

Saw my WLS surgeon for my annual exam. I told him sometimes I can eat a lot. He said he can send me to have an upper GI to see how big my sleeve has gotten. So excited because I always wonder about it. It would be nice to know what the size is after 3 years of stretching.

Still

Ran another half marathon in October. Good news was my abs didn't hurt. Running speed sucks. It took 2 hours and 52 mins. Slowest ever. I have one more run in Nov and then I am done for the year. Next year I won't run 4 half marathons. Probably 1 or 2. Not a runner. I only run because I can.

Tummy tuck result is still the same. Massachusetts General Hospital plastic surgery sucks, they claim they specialize in plastic surgery for massive weightloss patients, what a joke.

Ran a half marathon after TT

by Munchkin on 09-29-2014 at 08:19 PM
I ran a half marathon 3 months post tummy tuck. My jogging speed was really slow but I did it.

I am doing another half in 2 weeks. I still haven't been able get back to pre TT speed yet. Oh well, at least I am exercising again.

It was tough not to exercise for 6 weeks. I was worry about getting fat. And getting all my bad habits back again.

My sleeve restriction is a lot less now. It has almost been 3 years. That is why it is important to start
