Six months post-op TODAY!
This has been the best thing I have ever done for myself!
I feel better than ever, physically, mentally and most of all health wise!
Without the help of my OH friends, this journey of mine would not be near as amazing!
You dear friends have put things in perspective for me each time I get off track or think I'm not doing as well as I had hoped to be by a specific time. You have given the time and attention to everything I have needed. It just amazes me the support and caring I sense from this board. I've been posting and lurking for nine months now and every time someone responds to my concerns, I feel so blessed and thankful that they have taken the time for my need. Many of you I have never met in person. WOW!!!
My coffee friends...I think back to my first coffee in Burnsville with Lynn, Barb, Angela (princess) Colleen, Tracy....I had so many questions. They were so patient and helped me along each week.
Then I think of our sweet Edi! If it wasn't for Edi, I would have never even looked into the RNY. She told my hubby all about it and then gave me information about the boards. Here I am! What an amazing journey!

My special sweet Lisa Love Joy!!! Congrats on your 6 month surgiversary!!! You have done an amazing job at this. You know that this is a tough journey there are many ups and downs and yet you are always so postive and upbeat. Thank you for being one of my strong supporters along the way. You offer such great advice, encourgement, support, and love to me and many others on this board and at the coffee groups. I'm so very blessed to have met you, travel on this journey with you, and to call you an amazing friend!!
Going to a coffee with you is so much fun because you always have a though provoking questions and you need to hear the answer from everyone! I love the question each time and love to hear others responses as we all handle things so different. Thanks for always keeping us thinking!!
You have lost an average of 12.34lbs which is amazing. I told this to James and he thought that was awesome. I think that sometimes figuring it out like that is kind of cool!! Or perhaps that is the accountant in me!! Look how far you have come!! You are awesome and are doing awesome! (I hope you don't mind I posted your pictures but, I know you did not know how)
I'm very proud of you!! Keep up the great job!! 
Before Sugery!
