Checking In....

Hey everyone. I just wanted to check in to see how everyone was, and to give a quick update. I am down 92 pounds. (85 since surgery). Can I say that I LOVE my RNY!!! I have my days every once in a while but other then that, it is wonderful, Im actually wearing size 9's I still can't believe that. I look at the clothes, and I say to myself my big butt is not fitting in that, then when I try it on, it fits and is sometimes big. I am so happy, my self-esteem ha**** the roof, and I think to me that is the best part. I feel so much better. I am off all of my meds. Well that is enough about me, how is everyone else doing? I will post new pics, it has been really crazy, i stay busy all the time. Take care everyone.

omg thats terrific news. what an accomplishment. i cant wait

whats your diet like?

Melissa,
 Thank you! How are you doing? My diet is actually normal. I can pretty much eat anything I want, except for the 6 month limitation (steak, rice, and bread), but I will get to experiment with that Oct 22. I live off of chicken!! The only thing that I got sick off of that I will not try for the 3rd time is eggs. I was never a really big egg eater anyway before!!

Darcie,
  I have missed talking to you guys. I know this is late, but how was your trip? It is unreal b/c I never think that I am that small, Im use to going to the "big girl" section and it is wierd getting normal sizes. My goal is to look as good as you!!

Hey Danille...I had surgery on august 11 2008 and im doing great..have not been sick and pretty much pain free...I have lost about 15 pounds...My concern is that i wont keep losing...Can you give me an idea about how much you lose the first 2 months?? I know everyone is different but
i am so anxoius...My daughter is getting married in October and I want to be well on my way...
Any words of encouragement are appreciated


Beth

Hi beth!
    You are doing good. My encouraging words would be to listen to your surgeon and do like they say. Stay focused and dont give up b/c you are at a stall, or losing slower then someone else. Like you said everyone is different, I thought that I would be one of the slower losers. It will get a lot better i promise, the first 2 months I think that I lost about 40-50 pounds, I am now only 4 months out. Keep up the exersice and that will play a big part in your loss. Talk to any of my wonderful OH family, that was the biggest thing that helped me through this. I hope this helps you some. Remember we are all just one key stroke away......
