Okay so maybe I don't HATE my RNY!

First off thanks again for all the support, it is great to know that I am not alone and that . . . this to shall pass!

I just finished my one week follow-up appointment. I have lost 24 lbs., 17% of my excess body weight and the best part is I am no longer morbidly obese and I don't qualify for weight loss surgery!!!

Once I get past these hormones and tears, I know I will be so happy :)

It is a big change........ You will see time going fast.  I am over 4 years out now, hard to believe that time has already went by.    You will wonder what happened to the old you before you know it!!

Good to hear you're doing great with the WL and feeling a little better. I don't know how much exercise you're getting, but I know my Dr. said that walking 30 minutes every day will help my  mood and help with mood swings. I guess it gets things in the brain going and releases some "happy juice"!
Keep up the good work and congrats on loosing 17% since last week! Whoo hoo!

Woo hoo!  24 pounds gone forever.  What a great accomplishment already!  In time you too will be praising this amazing surgery.

Congrats!!!

I giggle .. only because you are gonna love this so much when all the garbage leaves your system!  Honest to God..this too shall pass.  Look at all this with a sort of scientific eye... a "isnt that interesting" .. how addicted to food... how much estrogen was in your belly fat... etc.I was so not impressed for awhile.   I remember a month or so after surgery a person asked me if it was worth it and if there son would think so... I said  " No get thee to the state fair and eat!!!!!! "

I look back now and cant believe how everything I did was defined by food.
Now its the events not the food...

Hugs

I have always admired you from afar (on this board). You started at a similiar weight as I did and you have done SO well!! I appreciate the advice. I never knew how emotionally draining this would be - I was telling my husband I feel like I am in the first trimester of pregnancy. I HATED the first trimester of pregnancy (one of the reasons I NEVER will be pregnant again).

I can't wait to feel semi normal and be able to enjoy the events and not focus on the food, although I will always enjoy the food (just a tiny bit of it!).

Honey....you will love it more and more everyday!!

Hugs, connie d

The fun has only just begun.

I was just thinking of you, wondering if your day went any better and thinking that you, too, must be up for a 1 week check.  You've done better than I have and I thought I did pretty well! 

WAY TO GO! 

I still feel weepy and yucky today.  My dr thinks I may not be getting enough sleep - gave me ambien.  Hope your spirits continue to rise and your numbers continue to fall! 

Keep me posted!
