Guest guest Posted July 25, 2001 Report Share Posted July 25, 2001 Hi , I don't post often, but I also had a VBG. My surgery was 1/20/2000 and I have lost 190 lbs. I started at 373 lbs and would still like to lose another 40 lbs. I have gone from a size 32-34 to a size 16-18 at the bottom and a Large at the top. I am still hippy. I too can eat most anything but still can only handle small portions at 18 months out. I eat about 1/2-3/4 cup at one time. I usually eat about 2 oz meat, fish or chicken, 1/4 cup of vegetable or salad and sometimes some fruit. My staples are beans, cottage cheese, yogurt with fruit, baked fish, tuna, chicken salad made with FF Mayo, ground round, grilled chicken breast. If I eat bread at all it is toasted. If I eat a sandwich I can only eat 1/2. I too find crunchy things like pretzels, bagel chips, popcorn and crackers go down too easy so I really have to watch. I could graze myself through a box of wheat thins in 2 days if I let myself. I walk 2-3 miles 3-4 days a week and I also have a pool so I try to swim 3-4 days also. I feel wonderful.
