I had gastric bypass surgery July 2, 2008 at my highest I was hovering around 300lbs I got down to around 155 after the first year. I slowly went up to 175.I've since started MFP and now I am back down to 160lbs and trying to get to my all time goal of 140lbs. If you have any questions concerning the surgery feel free to message me and/or friend me I love talking about my journey.The Good the bad and the ugly.

Thanks Nat. If you dont mind answering, do you still have to eat the egg sized portions or would you say your stomach stretched out? Just curious.

I'm pretty much back to "normal size portions" I dont think I'll ever be able to go to a buffet and go crazy (nor do I want to) like I use to.After the first year and half youll slowly to start to increase your intake.

Thanks! I am not planning to have the surgery, as my blog states, but I appreciate the info!
