  • down 139 pounds (321 to 182)
  • I wear size 32 jeans, instead of 50
  • blood pressure is normal
  • cholesterol is normal
  • Im a better father
  • better husband
  • better boss
  • better employee
  • better friend
  • I dont snore
  • I play hockey again.
  • I go out with friends confidently
  • I wear better clothes
  • I'm happy again
  • I dont avoid places where I'll see people that I used to know

i could keep this list going for days.  This has been the most important, miraculous thing thats ever happened to me.  I read this board every day.  Thank you to everybody who posts here.

I literally have ZERO complaints.  Energy high.  Food getting easier to eat.....getting closer to "normal", reasonable meals.  Every day gets a little better.  No issues at all.

CONGRATS - First two weeks after RNY and trying to eat smaller portions of things I used to be able to eat and getting really sick - I went through buyers remorse and would read folks on this forum who said they would go through RNY surgery 100 times over if they had to.  Well - I am 16 months out and have been at goal weight since Oct 2015 and would do it all over 100+ times. I lost 105 lbs and agree with everything you said - so nice to have my life back!
