What Happens After Weight Loss Surgery?

What's the Difference
Gastric Bypass Procedure vs. Gastric Sleeve Procedure: The Differences. A doctor attaches a small pouch to the intestine in order to bypass the stomach. The surgeon removes a portion of the stomach, producing a tube-shaped stomach (sleeve)

She Lost 100+ Lbs With Small Achievable Steps

I was reading a Dr. Oz Magazing that included the story of Andrea Freitas who does the A Measured Life blog on how she lost 100+ lbs. Here are some of the steps she took:

She replaced one coke with a glass of water each week. 

She cut her calories by eating smaller portions instead of cutting out food.

This also took years to achieve. She didn't do this in six weeks. 

She went from 275 to 168 and she is keeping it off.
