Ok, I just wanted to update my thread and let you all know I had the RNY done on June 12th and feel great!   I've lost 44 lbs so far and am so glad I did it!  Woo-hoo!!!

Hi there! I'm feeling great and it has only been a week. I'm back to work and feeling normal, aside from not being able to eat the same things or as much. I just had my 1 week post-op with Dr. Richards earlier today and she said things look great. She's a nice lady and very informative when I have questions. I'd feel very comforable in her hands again. I've already lost 13 pounds (water weight mostly) and am excited for the changes. I stuck to the diet schedule really strictly for the first few days post-op until I didn't have to look at the paper anymore. I've had my moments of being really hungry and weak, usually because I haven't been drinking my protein enough (really tired of it). The recovery is so much more emotionally demanding rather than physicially taxing, at least for me and the lap band. I really have to change my thinking in order to be successful. I feel like I've been given a gift, and I need to make the most of it. Let me know how your surgery goes. Stay strong, it'll be SO worth it!!

Girl I just sent this to 220 of my closest friends.  May that woman be attacked by a million red flesh eating ants!!!  Look past the shallow people to see the deepness in life girl xoxo Misty
