It's been a while...saying hello again

Hi everyone,

Just thought I would re introduce myself since I haven't been on this message board in forever.   My name is Angi and I had lap RNY a year ago this month.   It's been an incredible journey that has changed my life forever.  All the things I thought I couldn't do I am doing.  I've done 2 5k's, my feet don't hurt.  I can ride a bike, I can walk for miles on end without feeling exhausted.  I feel incredible! 

I have been extremely lucky and have not had any issues or complications since having my surgery.  I know that isn't always the case for some people, but for me it's been a pretty smooth ride.

I am very, very thankful for this tool that has helped save my life.

Hi Angi! I'm Leigh, and I'm in the middle of my 6 month pre op diet. I plan to have a DS in the fall.

Congrats on all of your weight loss! I can't wait to be on the loser's bench!

Congratulations!   You sound like you are very active, which I know is great for KEEPING the weight off.  I hope to join you in being more active, I already am moving much more and more easily than I was - that's for sure.  5K in my future?  I hope so, at least WALKING!

Take care.
Mary

 I'm down 120 pounds - thanks to RNY!  Working on the next 25.  Then I'll tackle more...

The best advice I can give to anyone on this journey is to NEVER GIVE UP!  You ARE WORTH THE LIFESTYLE CHANGE!

Do I have bad days? Absolutely.  But my bad days are so minor compared to all of my good days.  I hold my head up high.  I walk with a smile on my face.  I get people stopping me in the hall at work to tell me I look incredible.  I wear dresses!  I haven't worn a dress since I was about 23 years old!
