Hey all:

I finally did the RNY at Mayo Clinic in Minnesota with Dr. Swain. Seemed to go totally textbook, was released after 2 days, not feeling too bad, other than still having a lot of gas from the surgery. Don't light a match near me!

Topic: 5 FOODS FOR WEIGHT LOSS

1. MILK: Milk contains calcium and complex carbohydrates which can boost metabolism. This will keep insulin levels low, which prevents your body from thinking it needs to store fat.

2. GRAINS: Whole grains also help with weight loss. The fiber helps to boost metabolism and help you burn more calories. They also make you feel more full so you snack less often and they help to keep insulin levels low.

Topic: Finally approved and scheduled

It's been a while since I've checked in, but I'm finally scheduled and approved. Surgery will be at Mayo Clinic in Rochester MN on Jan 26th with Dr. Swaim. Wish me luck, I'm both excited and nervous.
