When running up a hill, it’s alright to give up as many times as you wish – as long as your feet keep moving. By - Shoma Morita M.D. I can only imagine that your experience has been wonderful. Full of changes and new experiences. I can hardly wait to see what I look like and feel like one year out!!! Congratulations to YOU!!! If you have an opportunity and/or haven’t already, please stop by and update your profile! We’d all love to know how well you’ve progressed!!! If you have a few moments, please take the time to send well wishes to your fellow “re-birthday” buddies!!! It’s a great boost to them as well as yourself. Have a FANTASTIC DAY!

Hi Rodney, I'm posting as an update so that other baby post ops will read. I have a suggestion for you that WORKED quite well for me.<P><P>I treated my pouch like a newborn baby. When ever I introduced my pouch to "NEW" foods, I'd wait a few minutes up to 1/2 hour to eat the rest. It was a PAIN in the butt, but,this..."WAIT" time would give my pouch time to assimilate or dump on the new food!<P><P>Because if you're going to dump, you will dump on a spoonful or a plateful of food.<P><P>Also, when you've lost 75% of your excess weight and are allowed to introduce CARBS back into your diet...ALWAYS, ALWAYS eat on a small dessert plate, ..( not a saucer, the next one up from that, typically called a "cake plate")--Now, this is a visual....DIVIDE YOUR CAKE PLATE in 1/2...one of those 1/2's is going to be your PROTEIN...(eyeball a deck of cards, that's about the right size)...the other 1/2 of the plate is divided in 1/2's again...(quarters) then, visualize those 1/4's on your plate as the amounts of carbs...1 side could be your veggies, and the other side...your other carbs...including...DARK BREADS, salad??..NEVER, NEVER put anything white or colorless into your pouch. NO PASTAS, NO RICE unless it's BROWN, no BREADS unless it's DARK..I don't eat these even at 20 months out, I keep my carb intake for the weekends, so that when I go out to dinner I can eat a "NORMAL" looking plate...lol. But PROTEIN ALWAYS FIRST!<P><P>This works for LONG TERM POST OPS...in the first 4 to 6 months,I was VERY diligent to weigh out my food,and made sure that at first I followed my doc to only have 1 1/2 ounces,he then upped my intake to 3 ounces...I can do 3 ounces quite easily and can sometimes eat almost a small 7oz Rib Eye by myself...lol.<P><P>Also, baby sized spoon and fork work wonders to keep from making your bites too large.
