Do you have any secrets to share for my near future journey I will say this has not been an easy journey for me BUT it has been worth it. This is not easy, educate yourself. It takes alot of work. I thought I had read everything on RNY but everyone is different. I have a great doctor. I cant imagine this journey with a doctor that isnt there for the patients in the aftercare which is more important than all the before appointments I think. research your doctor. I did not realize how much food is a part of everything we do socially. I am they type of person that needs goals. When I started this journey my husband said after 6 months we could take a cruise. We had a awesome time. I rewarded myself with scuba diving which I never could have done before. I started this journey as a 22/20 and I am currently a size 10. I wish you the very best.
I took my 1st cruise about 2 yrs ago with my best friend. I have to say it was nice but uncomfortable in every way, from the plane ride to the boat, buses and taxis we were transported in. I am a single mom and my biggest supporter is my best friend. My surgery is scheduled for end of July 2015 ( my goal is loss of 185) and her sleeve is scheduled in Jan 2016 (her goal is loss of 75). Since I have double the weigh to loss she suggested we work together but that I work really hard prior to her date because she will leave me behind since I got a head start. So has a motivator she has already scheduled my 2nd cruise as a gift for us both Sept 2016. I said all that to say sounds good to know that support can come from anywhere. My doctor and my best friend are great and tell me the truth and don't spare my feelings what so ever. I look forward to any updates on your progress and for me to go horse back riding next cruise.. 
Congratulations, great work, you look wonderful...
