Topic: RE: 20 days and counting.....Hernia repair and TT
Very excited for you Fran! I know when I quit I carried around a cinnamon stick, it helped with the need to do something with my hands. Maybe some SF hard candy to suck on? You will lose those pounds right after surgery the binder really increased my restriction. Good luck and keep postin!

Topic: One year ago today... *pix*
One year ago today, I had weight loss surgery (RNY) that changed my life as I knew it. I decided that 6 months prior to surgery, at a high of 322lbs, that I had to do something drastic to battle my lifelong weight issue. As of today, I have surpassed my goal and lost 148lbs! That is just ridiculous to me! I'm so glad I made the choice to take my life back. Top 14 WOW moments of 2009:
1. Running for more than a couple minutes at a time
2. Shopping in "normal" size stores and sections
3. Becoming a yoga instructor
4. Not break into a sweat doing normal activities
5. Zipline in Hawaii
6. Wear a bikini
7. Wear single digit size clothing
8. Feel comfortable in my gym locker room in just a towel
9. Do a modified yoga headstand
10. Have people not recognize me when they see me
11. Receive daily compliments on my success
12. Having my surgeon tell me not to lose anymore weight
13. Training for a triathlon
14. Sitting comfortably in an airplane seat
I just want to say thank you to everyone who has supported me in my journey, gave me guidance and advice when needed, and given me feedback on clothes! You all have been great... cheers to 2010!

For anyone pre-op or contemplating this journey for themselves... take the leap! It IS your chance at life again!

Go to my OH Profile & you'll see my just-uploaded ALBUM,
"Lauralyn's Christmas' 2002 ~ Now!"
Because I already had my surgery date, I knew Christmas 2002 would be my last in a plus-size body.
Coming up on my 7th POST-OP anniversary and I have NOT gained back any weight!
I am truly "at home" in a strong, healthy body after being a yo-yo dieter for most of my previous 50+ years prior to RNY in 2/03.
Wishing everyone a healthier, happier 2010!
