Today is my 53rd birthday.

I am so thankful for my RNY surgery. It took a while to be able to say that, with the rocky road I've been on for the past 2 weeks. Tuesday I went to the hospital for hydration, IV nausea meds and vitamins- WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!!  By Thursday I was able to eat, stopped being nauseous and car sick all the time.

I have made by birthday goal of 250. This morning I weigh 249.5!!!!  even with gaining 3 pounds of fluid weight  this week, I made it!

I am enjoying pot roast, beets, cottage cheese w/ peaches, egg, cheese, chicken is OK but doesn't sit well in my pouch. 
I joined the "y" and have gone 3 times this week to exercise!

Thank you, Thank you my Maine OH friends for all the encouragement and support during my rough patch. There were times I truely wondered why I had the surgery. But things have turned around and I praise God that my surgeon has the wisdom to order what's best for me,

So I'm a year older, need to get my drivers license renewed with a better photo of me, and today i can say......I LOVE MY RNY !!!

Happy Birthday and congrats on making your goal!!!

It's totally normal to go through a period of time that you regret having this surgery - I think most of us experience this early out.

Happy, happy birthday, happy birthday to you!!! That is my special birthday song that I sing, esp those that are celebrating ALL the years like you are.  This journey is perilous sometimes, but with your can do attitude you have made it work for you.  Your attitude of gratitude has made all the difference in how you  approach the difficulties and you are victorious!!
