Kelly, Wow! Congrats, hon. What a wonderful weight loss. I just read your profile and, besides your age, (I'm 36 today), we are - oops - were the same weight and are the same height. I cannot imagine losing 106 pounds in 4 months. You have worked sooooooo hard at it!!! Was it really the carbs that were killing you early on? Do you just not eat them at all now? Do you know if you had distal or proximal rny? I'm just asking about everyone to see if you can have results like yours with proximal rny, which is what my surgeon is planning. Congrats again! You are an inspiration! God bless, Andrea

RNY on 07/15/03

Hi Andrea! I have no idea whether is was distal or proximal... But it was the carbs that were getting me....as soon as I stopped with the bread and food like that, the weight started falling off, it was crazy, I lost about 20 pounds in the next week and a half following my cutting out the carbs. So as much as I want to just sit around and eat bread...I dont. I eat alot of chicken, salads and plain peanut butter, I know it doesnt sound like much, but I guess I dont get bored with foods easily. I joined two water exersice classes at the YMCA here in town, I spend at least an hour everyday at the Y whether it's water classes or just walking.

Good luck to you!!
